Add files or directories to be processed.

The following steps are used to create a Batch Process: When selected, the Batch Process dialog opens. In the MicroStation CONNECT Edition, the Batch Process utility may be accessed from Tools in the Backstage view or activated from Search Ribbon. The job file can then be opened, allowing the same batch process to easily be re-run in the future. A job file defines the script (command file) and the files to be processed with it. The Batch Process utility also lets you define and save a batch process job file. For example, you could use the Batch Process utility to quickly remove the unused levels from a selection of design files. The script is a text file that contains a series of MicroStation key-ins that can run commands, MicroStation VBA Macros, or MDL applications. The Batch Process utility lets you create and run a script that can be performed on individual files or entire directories of files. This can be achieved through a Batch Process using a script containing the desired commands to be processed.

Automating the update process by scripting out the desired set of actions can streamline and speed the process with a consistent set of output files. When individual files are touched “by hand”, repeated actions can easily be altered or even missed entirely. Updating design files is often a necessary but tedious task that can be prone to errors and irregularities.
