I have many (100+) .DWG files that have to be edited slightly and exported to .SVG files. Illustrator can do this of course, but I was wondering if I could make one big illustrator file with a lot of artboards, do my adjustments and then export all the artboards to .svg.

TLDR: How can I import multiple .DWG files to multiple artboards in one Illustrator file

The simplest method would be to select all your files, covert then combine them into one PDF.





Then you can use this excellent script to open that combined pdf in Illustrator with each page becoming its own artboard.

NOTE: Illustrator is limited to 100 artboards/file.

If the .dwg file is from a 2006 version of autocat, Illustrator can import it. Otherwise, you can first create PDF files and then import them.
