How to apply SendCommand in an ExternalDocument

Unfortunately that is not possible. An open drawing is required.

Thanks for your answer, and if I have 3 files open is it possible to apply a script to all of them?

[mzjensen]

Yes, but you’ll have to do it through a Python node. There’s some starter code here that might help:

Run Dynamo Script on entire folder of dwg's

Hello, I am looking to run a Dynamo script on 5,000 files. The script deletes one block and inserts another at certain coordinates, happy to share it. Is there a way to run this Batch on a whole folder of dwg’s? There’s a node Folder.get.contents.in.folder that is looking for forge folder, maybe I need to create one of those? This seems like something lots of folks would want. Thank You!
