In this blog post we will look at a simple way to reset the UCS to World for large number of drawings by batch processing drawings from a folder using AccoreConsole.exe
Here is the main batch file to iterate drawings in a folder :
::Make changes to these parameters as per requirement SET ACCOREEXEPATH=<span>"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2015\accoreconsole.exe"</span><span> </span> SET DWGINDIR=<span>"C:\Temp\IN"</span><span> </span> echo off :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: IF NOT EXIST %DWGINDIR% MD %DWGINDIR% cls SET UCSRESETBATFILEPATH=<span>"%~dp0"</span><span> </span> set UCSRESETBATFILEPATH=%UCSRESETBATFILEPATH:~1,-1%ResetUCS.bat <span>for</span><span> /f <span>"delims="</span><span> %%a IN (<span'dir %DWGINDIR% /b'</span><span> ) <span>do</span><span> call <span>"%UCSRESETBATFILEPATH%"</span><span> %ACCOREEXEPATH% %DWGINDIR% <span>"%%a"</span><span> </span></span></span></span></span> ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :End Here is the batch file that invokes AccoreConsole.exe :
SET ACCOREEXEPATH=%1 IF NOT EXIST <span>"%ACCOREEXEPATH%"</span><span> <span>goto</span><span> ACCOREEXENOTFOUND</span></span> SET DWGINPATH=%2 SET DWGFILENAME=%3 set DWGFILENAME=%DWGFILENAME:~1,-1% set DWGINPATH=%DWGINPATH:~1,-1%\%DWGFILENAME% :: Get the script file path SET SCRIPTFILEPATH=<span>"%~dp0"</span><span> </span> set SCRIPTFILEPATH=%SCRIPTFILEPATH:~1,-1%ResetUCS.scr ::Reset the UCS to World %ACCOREEXEPATH% /i <span>"%DWGINPATH%"</span><span> /s <span>"%SCRIPTFILEPATH%"</span><span> /l en-US</span></span> <span>goto</span><span> END</span> :ACCOREEXENOTFOUND echo %ACCOREEXEPATH% echo <span>"Accoreconsole.exe path is incorrect."</span><span> </span> <span>goto</span><span> END</span> :DRAWINGNOTFOUND echo %DWGINPATH% echo <span>"Drawing file not found."</span><span> </span> <span>goto</span><span> END</span> :END Here is the AutoCAD Script file to reset the UCS which is only a few lines :
;Script begins here
UCS
SAVE
;Script ends here
Here are files for download. To try this, copy all the files to C:Temp and place the drawings that you want to process under C:TempIN folder
