With Isodraw open you can batch process files in a folder specifying a macro to use, but I am not sure if it can rename the original file name of the file. We have a macro that takes the name of the file and places it in the bottom right corner of the illustration.  

 

I hope this helps

Macro Add_FileName
 
  Define h As Integer
  Define w As Integer
  w = activeDoc.window.pageX-2
  h = 2
 
#Message "The height is " + h
#Message "The width is " + w
 
#Added below command to ensure number is placed on the Illustation number layer
 
  ACTIVATE LAYER "Illustration Number"
Select none
  Text Align Left
  Text font 'Calibri'
  Text size 6
  Create Text w h stripext(activeDoc.name)
  Rotate selection w h 90
 
End Macro
