[Joker]

I don't know what to ask for with this question.  I have a block that is located in 100 dwgs.  Hope do ing update these dwgs without opening all the dwgs?

What do you want to update ?

How much programming have you done. ?

Have you tried scripts?

HERE is a thread that discusses them,
and ANOTHER ONE.
and yet even ANOTHER.

Also you could try ScriptPro, it comes with AutoCAD I believe. Just type SCRIPTPRO at the command line. Look at the help.

A script to open a drawing, zoom to extents, save the drawing, and close it would look like this:

Code: [Select]

open C:/directory/drawing1.dwg zoom e qsave close
open C:/directory/drawing2.dwg zoom e qsave close
open C:/directory/drawing3.dwg zoom e qsave close
open C:/directory/drawing4.dwg zoom e qsave close
Hope this helps.
