Export to dwg on many .stp files

I have alot of .stp files that I need to open up and save as a dwg.  Is there any function of Inventor that will allow me to do this to many files at once thru a macro or something similiar?  When I say many I mean somewhere around 5000.  I know enough of inventor to open up the .stp file and export it to autocad.  I am using scriptpro from the autodesk website to run a series of commands on the files once I have them in dwg format.  Does anyone know if there is a similar tool for Inventor?

 

Thank you in advance

Hello advmech

 

You can use Task Scheduler, go in Windows Start / Programs / Autodesk / Inventor 2012 / Tools. You will find task scheduler there.

 

You can create an import task to change your .STP in IPT.

 

hen you have to create a 2nd task to export your IPTs as autocad DWG
