3D to PDF Part Assembly

Hello

This question must have already been asked but I can't find the answer.

My question is:

I have a set of parts.

Instead of taking drawing by drawing save as PDF, save as DXF.

I would like each drawing to be saved in PDF automatically, or in DXF.

I tried to make a macro but too complicated ^^'.

Is there any other way? Or a simple solution to create a macro?

Because indeed I have quite large sets of projects and I can't see myself continuing to do this manually (it takes a lot of time).

( I am on solidworks 2016 )

Kind regards.

Hello

Can't the Solidworks Task Scheduler be useful for your needs? or the MyCADtools tool too.

I'm going to try the myCADtools, I'll see what happens.

Thank you for your help.

I just tried with MyCADtools and indeed it works pretty well:p 

Otherwise small problem, when I launch the conversion no problem.

But the filename changes: example "O0107002665_mécanosoudé_A"

Becomes "étatdépliéO0107002665_mécanosoudé_A"

How can I make sure that the name does not change?

Hello

Here's a macro I found a while ago that works great.

For the configuration of the names look in the tab "option" then "name of the generated files"

In BatchConverter (Mycad Tool) you have to go to option, name of the generated files and define the renaming rules. (with Simplified or Advanced mode)

If you want the same name as the original file, do not create a renaming rule.

Then you import your list of files to export (via csv or by importing from SW)

Thank you for your answers,

I tried the batchconverter and the rule to rename my file names.

I just tried the macro too.

Both work perfectly :D

Thank you very much for your speed and efficiency.
