Just in time for Halloween, we are releasing the November ADN Plugin of the Month a few days early. This month's plugin was written by DevTech India Manager, Virupaksha Aithal with input from Kean Walmsley. From its read me, the November plugin is:
ScriptPro 2.0 is a batch processing utility that allows you to apply a set of commands to multiple drawings. Simply specify a script file that contains the commands you want to run on a single drawing, and then use ScriptPro 2.0 to apply that script to as many drawings as you like. ScriptPro 2.0 will handle opening and closing each drawing for you. ScriptPro 2.0 takes AutoCAD scripting to a new level with an easy-to-use interface, logging, reusable project files and robust error recovery so your processing continues even when AutoCAD can't.
This version of ScriptPro is a ground-up rewrite of this highly popular utility for AutoCAD. It has been redeveloped with the key feature of being usable on 64-bit systems, and is now being provided with full source code for others to use and extend.
The plugin has been tested with AutoCAD 2008 onwards. It uses the version of AutoCAD most recently used on the system. To select a particular version of AutoCAD for use with the tool, simply start and close that version prior to using it.
You can get it now:
