Batch Operations

The Batch Operations Panel is used to define the batch operations that you wish to run, and the order in which you wish to run them

To add an operation, select it and click on the button

To remove an operation, select it in the top panel and click on the button

Batch Operations are run as an instruction order as if they were being run manually, so any changes an instruction makes are "last one wins" except for where the instruction does not overwrite existing data. As such, they can be moved up and down the instruction order with the buttons.

There are a maximum of forty three operations available if the drawings are in the database, with thirty six operations being available for HDX file drawings.
