    I used the wrong quote in the skill load statement, please replace it with:

    skill load "DXF.il"

    Thankyou so much for the help david. Everything is working fine with code.

    Also I have used createDir() in that provided code to create subfolder. Subfolder got created but the dxf files which are generating are not saving in that subfolder.

    Do I need to write any code for this? Please help

    I made a simple change to the skill code to write the dxf files to the outputs folder:

    C:\Temp>diff dxf.bak dxf.il
    18c18,19
    < sprintf(cmd "a2dxf -$ -u MM -a 3 -f 12 -c L \"%s.cnv\" \"%s/%s_%s.dxf\" %%s" f getWorkingDir() designName filmName)
    ---
    > createDir("outputs")
    > sprintf(cmd "a2dxf -$ -u MM -a 3 -f 12 -c L \"%s.cnv\" \"%s/outputs/%s_%s.dxf\" %%s" f getWorkingDir() designName filmName)
