Need a Simple Macro

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hello,
I have no experience programming for Inventor, only Autocad. I was
wondering if someone could whip out a routine to do what I need. Right now
I use a mcro recorder to do this but the thing is quirky and I have to
program a new macro for every session that I do this in. How I do this now
is as follows.

I open up all the step files that I need to process in Inventor.
Now I program a macro Tools->Document Settings->Units=Inch->File->Save
CopYas->Upfolder->.SAT->Close the File NO SAVE, routine repeats until all
open documents have been processed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Once I get my files to this format
then I can go to town processing the parts in Autocad with several Autolisp
routines that I have created.

Thanks
Rodney

You might be able to accomplish what you want with my KWiKBatchRun program
and a couple of the sample macros.

Thanks I googled this subject several times but never found anything. This
looks like just what I need. If you ever need anything for autocad let me
know.
I have a lot of routines that make working with Autocad solids a snap, or
dealing with large amounts of parts.
Thanks again
Rodney
