[cad-linux] extractbmp bash script


I made this bash shell script to process directories of .dwg files into .png
files (in the first step to creating a web gallery of Acad blocks)

This is what I ended up with (it's not pretty, but it works)

My next step is to make web pages of the .pngs for each directory with a
link to each subdirectory page

I would use a scripting language, such as Python or Perl, I know that what
you've described can be done in a shell, but a proper language gives you a
lot more freedom in terms of upgrade and growth.

I have attached an example in python for you.
