Add additional "Initial Model" options to batch processor

In the batch processor you can only set the Initial Model to All Models or Default Model only. I would like additional options:

  • All Sheet Models

  • All Design Models

  • All Drawing Models

I imagine it's more difficult but an option to pattern match a model name would also be useful.

    To add, while waiting for a batch to finish... When a file is opened to process Selected or All Models (or the future All Desings, or All Sheets, etc.) since the list contains the selected models in a single file, just switch between the models when processing. Currently it will reopen the same file over and over where all it needs to do is switch to the next model. This greatly increases processing time, and in OpenRoads cross sections, this adds up quickly.

    This functionality is badly needed to streamline key-in based scripting and actually using the batch processor. One example is processing sheet models without the need to manually populate the list of models and removing the need to maintain versions of a script files specific to a drawing container dgn (to cycle through the list of file specific sheet models).
