Recording macro in PDF

Macro
1
 
Hello
 
I would like to create a macro to save as PDF by renaming the file from custom properties of the outline file.
 
What I have a problem with is the retrieval of properties in the macro.
 
Anyone have any clues?
 
Thank you

Hello

We do have a utility that does exactly what you want, and more!

I invite you to read the description of the tools in the myCADtools suite. These tools are fully integrated into the SolidWorks interface and provide real added value. Download the presentation here.

Kind regards

Hello

 

I don't know where you are in the development of your macro, but I made one of the same style:

 

To retrieve the "code" property (for us it is in 3D), and you are in 2D, you need to activate the 3D file as follows:



Set swDraw = swModel
 
Set swView = swDraw.GetFirstView 
 
Set swView = swView.GetNextView
 
Set swRefDoc = swView.ReferencedDocument  ' Activates the 3D model in plan, we can then retrieve the custom properties of it
 
CODE = swRefDoc.GetCustomInfoValue("", "code") 'Retrieves the 'code' property of the 3D

              5
              
            

            

              
Hello
 
The Batch Converter utility does just that.
 
It's available for download I think

Have a nice day

            


            

              
              
              
            


            

                
                
              


          

          

            

              



              
                  
                  
              6
              
            

            

              
Thank you all for your answers,
 
I know Batch Converter and use it for multiple conversions.
 
Thank you Lucas for this info, I'll try to get into the code.
 
A+

We also have BatchConverter, but we use this macro as soon as we put a plan in the vault: a PDF and a DWG are created and placed in a special folder on the network so that they can be accessed directly for the other services. Whereas with Batch converter, it's not so convenient.

If you have any other questions about the macro you're doing, don't hesitate to open another question, I can probably help you!
And thank you for designating the best answer to it.
Have a nice day.
