NOTES:

  • All the commands work with the current import/export settings. If you want to change them, manually export/import to/from an Illustrator or AutoCad file with the desired settings. From then on, the new settings will be active.
  • Some commands write a temporary file called "C:\_temp.ai" and delete it at the end of the command execution.
  • If you have an AntiVirus installed, it is possible to get a warning about a dangerous script. This is because the Antivirus prevents unknown macros and script from writing on your drives. You can avois this by autorizing the script.
    The drive operations executed are on a temporary text file, anyway we won't be responsible for any loss of data, or other damages caused by this program. "Run it at your own risk!" :-)
