PR42-3: Super Scripting Secrets

Instructor: Daniel Abbott

Class Description: A script automatically executes a series of commands that are contained in a text file. It can be used to do any number of things, including creating a drawing, changing layer and variable settings for an existing drawing, automatically extracting block attributes, creating slides, running a slide show, starting AutoCAD with a particular drawing, or editing an unlimited number of drawing files while you do something else. A script file is a very simple, yet potentially very powerful, customizing tool. We will also briefly explore Script Pro and the benefits that it has to offer the users of AutoCAD 2000, 2000i and 2002.
