We are using ADT 2005, and need to dumb down a bunch of background plan drawings to ACAD 2000 format. There are lots of intertwined Xrefs, display configurations, and layer states that need to be preserved to deal with. Does anyone know of a way to batch process multiple drawings using the Export to AutoCAD command (_AecExportToAutoCAD2000)?

Thanks,
James Snyder

You're probably looking at using a Lisp or VBA routine that will open the drawings, save them as Autocad drawings and close them again. I don't think there is a way to batch process them available in the software(but I could be wrong). You may want inquire in the AutoLisp forum to see if someone hasn't already created something similar.
