Dear Sir,
I want to separate Drawing file Merge to one drawing file.
X - 10 Nos. drawing
Y- unlimited drawing
Perhaps a language problem, take 10 dwgs and insert into one dwg ? yes can select dwg's or even complete directory.
Sounds like you want a custom INSERT command that lets you select multiple drawings and then insert them all at once using the same Insertion point / Scale / Rotation ?
@Pihu_2024 hi,
Well, i do not recommend doing that and here's the reasons:
1. to process such amount of files in one shot would take a lot of time you could think the computer is stuck.
2. the merged dwg could get very heavy you hardly could zoom not say to edit.
2. each dwg has it own insertion base point so how it could be laid in this nice array? 😀
if you still insist, use xrefs instead and xclip where needed. in this approach you can still edit each dwg separately.

If you are talking about all drawings in a folder, a starting point could be BlockChart-Rows.lsp, >here<.
It starts at the bottom and works upward, and the number of drawings Inserted in a row is based on their individual widths and the width of the drawing limits, but it could be adjusted to work downward, and to always do 10 across, and to space them equally instead of checking each one's width.
Are they always of the same width, so that equally spacing them horizontally would work, without overlaps and over-large gaps? What should the spacing be?
If you do not want to add all drawings in a given folder, how would you choose the drawings?
