Maybe { crosses fingers tight } Microsoft could package all this up and do it for me. I'd love to just supply an SVG file. Although, since I spend time at work dealing with DXF files supplied by customers, I understand the problem.

Sure, but what exactly do they get me that a batch script doesn't? Not trying to be difficult, but if the batch script can do it, why would I wade into Powershell? I definitely think Powershell has it's place, but in this case, I don't see it.

I definitely don't see using cs files or f# scripts as an easier way of doing this.

Yeah, speed wasn't really an issue for my build. I'm just running it occasionally. This was basically a step better than manually exporting.

Yeah, I'll admit that batch files aren't exactly ideal. As a c# developer though, I don't ever use Python, so that doesn't come over as easier for me. I think I moved all the important parts into VARs, so you shouldn't have to change too much in the script.

If there was an easy cross-platform scripting language that was installed by default, now we'd be talking.
