    Cool Batch drawing convert

    When using the Autodesk Batch Drawing Converter, the drawings that are converted lose their bitmap preview image. Also, it changes the date of the file. Is there anyway to keep or remake the bitmap preview image? And is there anyway to keep the old date or change the date of the file back?

    Thanks,

    Check out the following Technical Document on the Autodesk web site under the Knowledge Base section -

    ID: TS32058 - Drawing preview image does not display after using Batch Drawing Converter

    With the above information, you could create a simple script file then use ScriptPro to process all the drawing files to recreate their bitmap preview image.

    Not that I am aware of when using the Batch Drawing Converter.

    Have a good one, Mike
