Hi,
I have a directory that contains about 6500 blocks. Is there any software
available that will enable me to select this directory and it will
automatically create A3 sheets for example and fill them with the blocks so
I can print them out and see exactly what I have got.

TIA
Homer.

All I've got to offer is a Visual Basic v6.0 application (very small) that
allows you to select a Folder and then select to see either Files in that
Folder or sub-Folders. And then you can either send the list to your printer
or Clipboard.

Don't know if that'll work for you or not.

Regards,

Bruce

I use Blockwerx from www.cadwerx.net ~ it's a block management utility but has some great features.
One of the features is being able to print out your block library (which is the reason I originally got it but never ended up using because the program does it all for me) ~you can specify how many dwg's per page. It also uses slides which are incredibly useful

Thanks but I was really looking for something to cram as many blocks onto
each sheet as possible and then print them out.
I did find a program called The Caddalog Maker that does this but it seems
it's not available anymore.
