Automated batch converter for upgrading 32bit SignCAD files to 64bit at scale

We have a large number of SignCAD files in our environment that were created in the 32bit legacy versions (10.02 and older) that will need upgraded to the 64bit file format. The current workflow will see these files automatically upgraded as each file is opened in the 64bit versions of OpenRoads SignCAD; however, many of our SignCAD files exist in our ProjectWise system. Without a deeper level of ProjectWise integration, this adds another layer of complication where ProjectWise isn't aware of the backup file being generated in the user's local DMS, where it essentially becomes an unmanaged/orphaned file.

A simple solution would be the ability to pass a file or directory via command line to the SignCAD executable. We do this now for bulk upgrading/downgrading of civil data in DGN files using civil file manager delivered with OpenX/OpenSuite products.
