"Save all as"

"Save all as"

Is there a way to do a "save all as"?

For example, say I have 10 drawing files open and I've made changes to them, then I realize I need to keep the original versions as well as the modified versions. Is there a way to do a "save as" on all of them at the same time?

Thanks.

My first thought would be to simply exit AutoCAD and answer YES to saving each one as it closes.  THEN... Got to the folder that holds the files and change the extension of the .bak files to dwg and add the "_old" suffix to the end of each file name.

 

The bak files are the previous existence of the file before the last save.

 

Other than that a LISP routine could be used I suppose.

 

Hope that helps!

You will need to automate with LISP: ask in that forum for help with coding https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/visual-lisp-autolisp-and-general/bd-p/130

Thank you.

I didn't think about using the .bak files. Is there any way to get the files as they were at a specific date/time?

Thank you.

I have posted the question in the lisp forum.

We shall see...

The name of the bak file is the same as the name of the dwg file.  You only get one bak file when you perform a save on a dwg.  There are not other versions at other dates and times.
