The IGES 2D Translator can run in Batch Mode, which enables you to translate more than one file at a time. Refer to the sections Batch Translate: IGES to MI (2) and Batch Translate MI to IGES (4) for details of how to run the translation in batch mode.

At the end of a batch translation, the Translator produces a Batch Log File in addition to log and output files for each translated file.

A batch log file consists of two main sections. The first section contains information about the direction of translation, that is, from IGES to MI or from MI to IGES. The second section gives a one-line description of the translation for each file in the batch file. This one-line description indicates briefly the result of each translation so that you can go back and check a file if there are some errors encountered during translation.

The following is a listing of a batch log file:
