Bug Fix

+

Added support for AutoCAD 2008

+

Added ability to resize the main dialog and the add files dialog

+

Added support for the CTRL+A key combination to quickly select all items in a list

+

Added a new feature to allow users to manually edit a command in the command list. This is really useful for editing custom commands in the list or for tweaking detailed plot commands without having to redo them. It is also handy used with the Layer manipulation commands if you have spelt a layer name wrong.

+

Added "Update Block Icons" as a new custom command 

#

Changed the behaviour of Custom Lisp box whereby a return in the command field will add the command and close the box. Clicking the Add button will now also close the "Custom Command" dialog.

!

Bugfix for Image Frame commands not working correctly on Acad 2006

+

Added support for AutoCAD 2006

+

Added the ability to sort the file/folder list in the main dialog so that you can control the order that drawings are processed.

+

Added ability to plot to scale rather than defaulting all plots scaled to fit

+

Added the ability to temporarily disable all plugins (stop them loading) from within batchpro during batching. This means that if your batch does not require any of your plugins, disabling them will help to speed up the whole process and can make a considerable difference if you have been loading lots of plugins.

+

You can now specify file name filters when you add folders to the file list for processing.
e.g. You can specify to plot all files in a folder that are prefixed with a DR by using a simple filter like  "DR*.dwg".
This makes batching quicker if you have blocks/xrefs etc mixed in the same folder with your final drawings as you can now control which files are processed without having to manually select them.

!

Fixed bug for batch plots not working in certain circumstances on AutoCAD 2005

!

Fixed bug of plot media sizes not being set correctly where a media size name contained spaces. This affected all supported AutoCAD versions.

#

Setting of plot orientation has been replaced with a more reliable method of set plot rotation.

+

Added the ability to apply detailed plot configurations to layouts without actually plotting them.

+

Added "Wipeout ON/OFF" commands

+

Added a "Set Block Attribute" command

+

Added a "Batch in Progress" dialog

+

Added a toggle to Add Files dialog that makes it transparent
(requires windows 2000 or above)

+

Added ability to use the Delete key on File and Command lists to remove highlighted items from the lists

+

Added an "Add Folders" button in Add Files dialog so you can now highlight and add multiple folders to the file list.

+

Added counters to the main dialog file and command lists

-

Removed "Add Current Folder" button from Add Files dialog as it was slightly confusing

#

The current folder in the  Add Files dialog is now shown in a combobox control. This allows for quick navigation to any folder in the current path.

+

Support for Autocad 2004/2005 (+ vertical Autodesk AutoCAD based products)

+

It is now possible to stop a batch while it is in progress.

+

You can now specify if you want to save or discard changes to drawings opened during the batch.

+

You can now test certain commands that you intend to batch on the current drawing. This enables you to test them before actually doing a batch. This makes it much easier to build up complex batches and test them in small pieces before actually running them on a large number of drawings.

+

New comprehensive native layer manipulation commands

+

New session Log for improved feedback from Batchpro

+

Added Command Alias functionality to allow easy re-use of users custom commands
