If you want to check (audit or recover) a whole directory of .DWG drawings (e.g. all XRefs), you can use a script file and a batch utility - e.g. ScriptPro.

Use QAFLAGS to suppress prompts in the Recover command. To recover (repair) a bunch of drawings use e.g.:

QAFLAGS 31
_RECOVER filename
_SAVEAS repaired\filename
To audit your drawings use:
_AUDIT
_yes
scr-saveas-2004
_yes
