    Default Excel to CAD

    Hey all,

    New here as of today...been a while since I have opened "VLIDE" from a command prompt...

    My project is to create a DWG from Excel (well lots of DWGs from Excel)

    What I have so far is basically a script file generator.
    A user will fill out a couple of columns of data in the excel file, then push a button that will decode the part number and legend, and then create a script file that will tell CAD what block to paste and where to paste it.
    All of that works fine...I can create 50+ SCR files in seconds.

    What I would like to do now is create a LISP that will do the following:
    Ask the user to pick a directory.
    Run through all of the *.SCR files in that directory (creating the CAD file)
    And then save the CAD file with the same name as the SCR file that was used to create it.

    What I knew about LISP 12 years ago has left the building
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Using AutoCAD 2010 - not sure if that is vital...

    Would not the last line of the script be a saveas filename ?
