Save 300 plus parts as flat pattern in .dwg quickly ??

[Anonymous]

Hi I have 300 plus sheet metal parts. What is an easy way to save the flat pattern of each .ipt in a dwg format so I can sent it to the plasma. the way I'm doing it right now is open each ipt file. click on flat pattern save as dwg. and repeat 300 plus times. ( not fun) -- Lester Martin

Attached is a macro, that much of it comes straight from help. I have only done one quick
test with it, so take it for what it is worth<G>

Hopefully you should be able to use it with my iBatchrun program that you can get here
