SuperScript
(Deprecated)
Product Details
SuperScript is an CAD Script Generator that allows ease of selection of multiple files, along with quick generation of script files to apply to those multiple drawings. Numerous script fragments are included which lets you quickly assemble your script files from pre-built chunks of script rather than typing it in from scratch.
Scripting Remains Useful
Even though we have created an immense amount of automation for CAD, there will always be a need for scripts. They are easy to create (even by the novice) and allow a significant amount of automation to be applied. Dozens of hours of repetitious work can be completed in minutes by a well crafted script. Weeks worth of this type work can be completed by running a script overnight.
Drag & Drop Buildup
Simply drag your drawing files from Windows Explorer to our process list. Then drag/drop your script fragments from the structured tree into the editor, then click [Make/Run] to start the script.
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| File Selection: | The biggest obstacle in applying a script file to multiple drawings is finding and building a list of files. That's why our tool offers multiple ways to build a file list. You can add a list (in a text file), select multiple files in a standard windows dialog, or simply choose a folder. If you tell it to include subfolders the application will automatically navigate the entire structure collecting all the files under the folder.
So you could select every file in a drive by simply selecting the root folder. You can also save the list to a file for quick recall later. |
| Per-Drawing Script: | If you're comfortable typing in scripts, you can do that right in our built-in editor. Even experienced users will like our quick script building from the supplied script fragments. Simply drag operations you wish to apply in the list, and drop them into the master script. |
| Process by Version: | You can tell the application to only process drawing files less than (or greater than) a certain file version, great for updating old drawings. |
| Options: | You can ignore the operating systems read-only flag on files. |
| Create or Make/Run: | AutoCAD LT users can create the script file, then switch to their CAD application, execute the script command and paste in the script file name (which we automatically put in the clipboard). Full AutoCAD (2000 & higher) or BricsCAD users can simply choose Make/Run and the application automatically comes to the front and begins. |

- With a single button compile your multiple drawing script.
Important Notice: DotSoft cannot be held responsible for the behavior of CAD commands used in scripts. Some commands are dialog based and simply will not work inside scripts. If you are unsure of the reaction to commands in your scripts, try the product evaluation above first!
Note: The functionality of SuperScript is virtually the same as that found in the ToolPac Drawing Processor command and ToolPac is loaded with hundreds of other useful routines!
Note: As a deprecated product, technical support for previous versions of SuperScript is still available but product improvements and bugfixes will only continue in ToolPac.
Documentation: Installs with the software and is available on-line.
