Hi all , 

 

I am looking for a Lisp that will open multiple files in any folder i choose and then zoom extents , save , and close. The research i have been doing on this seems to point of alot of them out there but i have had no luck with any of the ones i have found. From what most say this is a common and simple Lisp , however apparently it isnt for me. Thank you all for any help on this.

An AutoLisp routine can't start in one drawing and continue in another.  This kind of thing needs to be done with something like a Script, which can call up a Lisp routine within each drawing it opens.  Search for SCRIPTPRO in the Forums and you'll find a lot of things, many doing similar operations to what you describe.

Also, look into "BatchInEditor" and "BatchInDatabase" in the AutoDesk Apps Exchange. They are free and work very well and will do exactly what you want.
