How To Display AutoCAD Batch Script Progress

 

Hello! I have reviewed your problem and sure it is, there is way to show AutoCAD batch scripts progress.

 

Here's how:

 

You can add this line of code to either.

 

• User script
• Settings tab—> preuserscript

(setvar "modemacro" "Drawing $COUNTER$ of $FILECOUNTINQUEUE$")

 

This code will display a tiny message in the status bar which will indicate what drawing is currently processed while the script is running.

 

Notice that in your compiled script the $COUNTER$ and $FILECOUNTINQUEUE$ values are being substituted to values. This line of code changes as the script is running and progressing.4

 

There you are you can now display it.
