Hello
I'm trying to create a fairly simple macro (I think) that would allow me to save a drawing in PDF and DWG and store them in the appropriate folder. So I saved the macro while saving the document, but how to indicate in the macro that it should take the name of the document to be saved and not a name already defined in the mcro (I don't know if I'm clear...)
See this link

Hello
I use:
sPathName = swModel.GetPathName' retrieves the folder name
sPathName = Left(sPathName, Len(sPathName) - 7)
sPathName = sPathName + ".dxf" ' Edit: add dxf at the end of the variable to save in this format (can be replaced by pdf)
then: bRet = swModel.SaveAs4(sPathName, swSaveAsCurrentVersion, swSaveAsOptions_Silent, nErrors, nWarnings)
@gt22: I got the macro in the link, but it saves the files in the folder where the SolidWorks drawing is located and I don't know where to modify the code to indicate my paths :-(
Hello
Personally, I don't know anything about macro creation, but when I need to do pdf and dwg exports of plan folders I use the task scheduler, there is an export function provided for this purpose. You can even program it to work at night.
On the other hand, knowing macros interests me strongly, if someone has documentation to train me, I'm interested.
May the force be with you.

Why doesn't it suit you?
whether this is recorded in the drawing files of the said part or assembly
In fact we have a folder where the SolidWorks drawings are recorded, a folder for the MEP in DWG and a folder for the MEP in PDF... A top organization... Laughing out loud
I tinkered with the file a little and I manage to change the path but I lose the name of the file... But I'll get there eventually :-)
Look from this macro, you will find a method to choose a folder.
Otherwise you could put your code and a detail of the tree (if the folders all have the same name)? I have some time to lend a hand.
and on the names of folders with an extension
Types
DXF for DXF
PDF for PDF
SLDDRW for SLDRW
then just sort through the extensions and store them where it should be, right?
By dint of tinkering and searching thanks to the GT22 link, I finally have a macro that works and allows me to save my PDF file in a certain folder and in parallel my DWG file in another folder.
Thank you all!!
