Hobadee Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Hello everyone, Is there a command line interface for Vectorworks/Vectorscript at all? We have about 75,000 VWX-2016 files we need to upgrade to 2017, and we would like to do this via a shell script. (The builtin batch convert function has been iffy in the past, and the quantity of files we have tends to choke it.) Is there a way of doing this? Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Are you on Mac or Windows? If Mac, then you could probably work up an Applescript function that would do what you need. I can probably help you get started on the script. Otherwise, just Batch Convert a folder at a time. Neither are good options. Quote Link to comment
Hobadee Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 We have both Mac and Windows machines. Batch Converting a folder at a time isn't really an option; those 75,000 files are spread out over probably 25,000 folders. We really just need to pass the root directory to a script and have it convert files as it finds them. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Since you have Macs, we can probably build an AppleScript/Vectorscript workflow that will do what you want. If you are interested in discussing this further, please send me a private message so we can discuss the details of what you want this to do and how much time it is likely to take to do it.
