Help: Draw circles in multiple dwg files with batch process?

[Anonymous]

Hi everybody,

I'm very new to batch process. I've tried to make my own simple batch process to draw circles in multiple files.

The process will draw a circle at the origin of each drawing. When I ran the Autolisp and Script file, they worked well.

But when I ran bat file with script and lisp, the batch process didn't work. 

Could someone help me?

Thank you!.

The Autolisp code:

(defun c:drawcircle(/ pt)
  (setq pt '(0 0 0))
  (command "_.circle" "_non" pt 5)
  (princ)
  ) ; defun

The script:

(load "c:\\datafiles\\test\\drawcircle.lsp")
drawcircle
QUIT
Y

The batch:

FOR %%f in (c:\datafiles\test\dwg\*.dwg) do start /wait C:\”Program Files”\”Autodesk”\”AutoCAD 2013”\acad.exe “%%f” /b  c:\datafiles\test\drawcircle.scr

The batch process didn't work correctly because of wrong syntax.

The batch file should be as:

FOR %%f in (c:\datafiles\test\dwg\*.dwg) do start /wait C:\"Program Files"\Autodesk\"AutoCAD 2013"\acad.exe “%%f” /b  c:\datafiles\test\drawcircle.scr

And the script from my 1st post will quit without saving ("N" as "No" respond to "Quit without saving?"). So, the script should be:

(load "c:\\datafiles\\test\\drawcircle.lsp")
drawcircle
QUIT
N

Hope this will be useful to somebody else.
