Easily create "batch scripts" to process any number of drawings with YOUR COMMANDS, and manage lists of files to process. Share these lists and "user-scripts". Combine user scripts to accomplish complex editing tasks. (You can even store scripts specific to each project, and retrieve them easily.)
This means you can EASILY Batch Plot your files, Batch Purge, Batch Bind, batch perform anything, maximizing your PC's power to perform reduntant tasks fast!
Definable "TAGS" - allow you to include Dynamic Data in your script without having to edit it every day.
If you are new to scripting, Hurricane has a built-in, "Command Capture Utility", which allows an AutoCAD user to "capture" his commands in script format, making developing scripts a breeze.
Easily jump from drawing to drawing when manually editing in AutoCAD, why use the AutoCAD file selector when you can have all your relevant drawing files listed, and just click to preview and load them!
DRAG and DROP files between Explorer and Hurricane. Drag single files, or drag entire directories, OR drag file-lists (generated by other software) to the file queue.
SCRIPT WIZARDS - Allow you to create scripts quickly and easily. You don't have to know how to write a script to use them.
Title-Block Update Wizard to easily update title-block information in your drawings using attributes.
Search and Replace Text Wizard to easily generate batch scripts to search and replace text in all your drawings.
PageSetup Wizard to easily insert PageSetups from other drawings.
Log Limits to file Wizard to easily generate a text file which contains all of all your drawings limits.
Search for TEXT and Log Wizard to easily flag drawings that contain a particular string of text.

Hurricane will not change any AutoCAD settings, nor will it "take control" of AutoCAD.
Hurricane is in use by all types of AutoCAD users, from Architects, Mechanical & Electrical designers, Aerospace, Defence and our support has been utilized in an MIT research experiment.
Hurricane is NETWORK or Locally installable (all with the same distribution files), and requires no special setup programs. Just copy the contents of the Hurricane.zip to any Network directory, and all users can run the executable at the same time! With absolutely no local installations required! (or if you choose, install it locally, the same distribution does either)
Hurricane has been in development since 1996, and has been improved and modified (immediately) to suit your feedback and specific needs, and newest versions of AutoCAD.
Hurricane has been downloaded well over 15,000 times, with sales in 39 states and 12 other countries. We believe it to be the most widely distributed software of it's kind.
