stepbatch XML Job File Elements for Command-line Usage
STEP files can be converted from the command line using stepbatch. This chapter explains all of the command line options available for command line publishing. See Command Line Publishing with stepbatch for more information.

The command line <cad_data> defines what is to be converted. stepbatch can publish more than one file at a time. To publish a list of files, type all of the names on the command line separated by a space. Wildcards (asterisks *) can also be used, if the user is confident that the data returned will be correct. A possible command line using options is as follows:
stepbatch -vl mylogfile.txt -vc -p output file.stp
