Oops...

I forgot to include the .pcb file in the previous email for the dialog box
called by the macro.

This is my second attempt to send this, so please excuse any duplicate
emails.

Yes and no.

Yes, you do need to convert sh3 files to pm4 before running a batch process
on the Cam Connection.

No, you don't need to manually convert them.
Attached is a macro, CONVERT.MCL, that I wrote years ago when I updated my
company from v4.5 to v11.5. It converts sh2 and sh3 shape files to pm4.

With a little modification you could have this macro export the file as iges
after saving as a pm4.

Fred & Group,
  I got the PM4 to IGES to batch translate fine. However I don't see
anything for the SH3 files, is there something I missed or will I need
to manually convert them to PM4 and then batch translate them?
Thanks,
Michael
