AutoCAD script & batch tool for multiple drawings & paths

Create custom AutoCAD scripts - AutoCAD Script Generator Utility for AutoCAD also supports a single directory or directory tree. Recently tested for AutoCAD 2009.


AutoCAD scripts made easy!

Create AutoCAD Scripts!

Easily create text based scripts with a list of files. SupportsAutoCAD scripts, text based macros, and general text based automation utilities. Includes a built-in script writer to generate a quick script template.

The CAD Script Generator will help you would like to apply to multiple drawing file names and paths. In just a few steps, you will be able to automatically generate a script file containing all drawings files within a single directory or directory tree.

Built-in AutoCAD Scripting

Simply create a set of commands for the script template. These are one-line commands that will be performed by AutoCAD (or any other text based macro) to be duplicated for each file in a directory structure. (Or simply use the built-in script generator to create your own).

Here’s an example of a simple AutoCAD script (we have named it purgeit.scr - note the file extension of ‘scr’) that will open a single drawing, “purge” all plot styles from a drawing, do a quick save, and then close it.

     Open
     “C:\MyDrawings\sample.dwg”
     -purge
     p
     *
     qsave
     close

To run this script for multiple files with Script Generator, simply replace the line containing the path and file name with <*file*>. Then Run the CAD Script Generator, select this script as the template, and it will automatically generate a script with each file in place of the <*file*> line.

     Open
     <*file*>
     -purge
     p
     *
     qsave
     close

AutoCAD Scripting Features


  • Calculates and displays the number of files processed and total size.
  • Can display the finished script in notepad for review.
  • Gives you the option of removing the “read-only” flag from the files it lists. (NOTE: It will not force changes if the file is open, but removing the read-only flag reduces the risk of script failure)
  • Allows you to place quotation marks around the file name and path. (NOTE: Names that have spaces in them require quotation marks for AutoCAD’s script function to work properly. A space is the same as a in AutoCAD)
  • Provides a choice of file extensions to use for the file list. (“*.dwg” is the default for AutoCAD)
  • Can generate a simple list of file names and/or paths. (using a script with the only line being <*file*>… see
  • below under “Instructions for using CAD Script Generator”)
  • Has a built-in script writer to generate a quick script template
