Hello, I am looking to convert one or more drawings of a set into a pdf, and add with the plans of the parts of the set the nomenclature in pdf in the same file (a combination), all in automatic

I thought I could do it with Integration, but I'm stumbling over the  logic to apply (if there is one...) . Thank you!

 

Hello

There's BatchConverter that does this job very well: compiling multiple MEPs into a single PDF.

Of course, your nomenclature would have to be present on one of the MEPs.

Kind regards.

Hello

Do you only want one file?

Hello

Yes, in a single file.

Indeed batch converter converted my folder very well into a whole bunch of individual files.

I would like him to occasionally do a fusion for mechanically welded assemblies.

I also saw that I could find the planes that are dependent on an assembly, and merge them into a single file.
It forces me to do the research for each assembly, but in any case, it's already better this way, thank you very much!

Hello

BatchConverter can also merge PDFs into a single file:

option -> export option\PDF -> check "merge all PDFs into a single file" if necessary

Otherwise for the manipulation of PDFs (cutting, assembly, page reorganization...) I have been using PDFSam for years in an old version but more complete than the recent one:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfsam/files/pdfsam/2.2.4/

Kind regards.

I confirm @a.eriaud  for the merge (and everything else) pdf sam basic v4.1.1 works great too.

It is possible to create a macro in VB.net to automate the creation of pdfs from the dependencies of an assembly and to combine them with PDFSharp.

Hello

For the moment I can do it in semi-automatic shall we say. 

In batchconverter, I select the drawings that depend on a subset: the overall plan and the attached drawings appear. For the conversion, I ask for a merge and it's ok.

On the other hand, when you have about 10 subsets to treat like this, you have to redo the process 10 times

A macro could solve the thing, I would have to dive into it because I haven't practiced this kind of manipulation yet.
