I wrote a Content Center library family containing all ANSI Flange sizes from 1" to 16", all saved as sheet metal parts. We cut all our own flanges out on a CNC plasma cutter here which uses DWG files to cut from. Therefore I would like to save a DWG copy of each flange, and I'd like to do it all in one batch if possible, rather than laboriously opening and saving each of the 800 some that exist. Is there a way to do this?

There is a tool "Task Scheduler" installed with Inventor, you can find it in Inventor install location or Windows start menu-> Autodesk...
Launch TS, create an Export File task, add a folder that contains your 800 files, set Output file name to be *.dwg.
Hope that's helpful,
Regards,
Evan

Thanks for the reply. This looks perfect. Problem is I don't seem to have .dwg as an export option. I'm running IV2011 Routed Systems. Any idea why this is? Thanks, Evan
