Integration: Change of basemap + PDF creation

c_vuillaume · January 14, 2025, 7:48am

Hi all!

I could use a little help with the use of Integration.
I want to use it for my plans:

Change the background map of all sheets to suit my format
Create a PDF in the folder where the document is located

So far, so good, not too complicated. On the other hand, I would like my plan. SLDDRW is not saved with this new basemap. However, in the action settings, I did uncheck the save option.

I tried to change the background plan after saving the .pdf, but inevitably the execution takes twice as long.

Thank you for your help, have a nice day!

Hello c_vuillaume,
It may have nothing to do with it, but I found it on the web, hoping it could help. => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7xHvbgzSOs
or maybe this =>https://help.solidworks.com/2022/french/SolidWorks/sldworks/r_customize_sheet_formats.htm

we would need the details of the operations requested under Integration as well as the version of the MycadTools tools used (the one of Solidworks too):
Also pay attention to the visual in front of the operations...

It is not impossible that the registration is conditioned by the type of opening...

Thank you for your feedback, it doesn't solve my problem right now but it gives you avenues to explore despite everything =)

For the record, I am indeed reproducing the problem. (the change of background of the plan requires the opening of the document so not concerned)
For me this is a bug since the option not to save is checked, it should not be saved after the pdf the change of background in the MEP.
I'd be you, I'd make a ticket to the hotline.

On the other hand, I do something similar for my dxf via macro background replacement then export and no worries (hence the confirmed bug)

Thank you for your feedback. Here are my versions:
Mycadtools 2024 SP1.0 and SW2022 SP5.0

It's probably going to end in macro this story

c_vuillaume · January 20, 2025, 10:55am

I'll probably do that, thanks for your answer

While waiting for an answer from Visiativ for the bug, here is a macro that replaces the basemaps, remains the pdf export and close the document without saving:
