I would suggest a script (.scr) file, and Autodesk's Scriptpro to process all dwg's.

EDIT: attached is a Sample.scr.txt, remove the .txt, using Scriptpro, your script don't nead to call the close command, the program will close the dwg and open the next one.

Also if you are using Acad 2013 or later version use accoreconsole.exe to run the script file.

To use accoreconsole, you need to create a *.bat file with the below line.

FOR %%f IN ("C:\dwgfiles\folder\*.dwg") DO "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2014\accoreconsole.exe" /i "%%f" /s "C:\myscript.scr" /l en-US

Edit the paths(highlighted in blue) as per your requirements.

1. C:\dwgfiles\folder\ - This will be the path where your drawings are saved for batch processing.
2. C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2014\accoreconsole.exe - acccoreconsole.exe, file location in acad program files folder.
3. C:\myscript.scr - the script needs to run on the files in step 1 (Use the script file which Henrique suggested)

Save the *.bat file anywhere you like, and double click on this bat file will start accoreconsole to process the drawings.
