automatic export from drw to dxf or dwg files

[D4n13l]

Hello everyone
I was wondering if someone knows if there is a macro or some creo program (currently in the company we have version 6.0.3.0) that makes sure that at the time of saving the .drw file you automatically create .pdf, .dxf or dwg files and in the 3d you automatically create it maybe step in a specific folder.
mine is just a curiosity to know if there is something to be able to speed up the work, with inventor I remember doing it, I would hope that it could be done even with creo.

thank you very much to all for the help

hi andrea I wrote you a message in private

ciao @d4n13l , there are several methods to get the result you ask, one is the macro, otherwise you can use vb to create an oc program that allows you to execute these operations (also for exporting a list of models and drawings starting from a list). Obviously it is not very simple especially to explain in the forum but it is feasible.

hi, the + simple thing is to make a macro that does what you want and associate it to a key function of the keyboard.
Obviously you must have set the various exports correctly.
for example x dwg

hi I had already done what you say but I need to do something more complex and that the file goes into certain folders according to the design code in the various formats

ciao , quando crei la macro procedi a registrarla inserendo il percorso di salvataggio.

ti allego quello che dovresti vedere poi nel config.pro
io salvo nella cartella c:\ptc\proe_start\export

mapkey(continued) ~ select `file_saveas` `location browser`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ close `file_saveas` `location browser`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ activate `file_saveas` `m_pfafs:drives`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ close `file_saveas` `location browser`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ select `file_saveas` `ph_list.filelist`1 `c:`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ activate `file_saveas` `ph_list.filelist`1 `c:`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ select `file_saveas` `ph_list.filelist`1 `ptc`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ activate `file_saveas` `ph_list.filelist`1 `ptc`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ select `file_saveas` `ph_list.filelist`1 `proe_start`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ activate `file_saveas` `ph_list.filelist`1 `proe_start`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ select `file_saveas` `ph_list.filelist`1 `export`;\
mapkey(continued) ~ activate `file_saveas` `ph_list.filelist`1 `export`;\
mapkey(continued) @manual_pausemodificare nome?;~ activate `file_saveas` `ok`;\

ma fa tutto in automatico mentre registri la macro.

x ogni salvataggio scegli un percorso

ok but each design has a specific path and macros if not mistaken you can only assign them to keyboard tast f# or wrong?
we already have other macros recorded on the f# keys in the program I don't think it's feasible the thing in our case

 

[mamobono]

I have the dwg/pdf/stp/iges/pdf3d folders and each macro creates its design, with the same name as wf4/creo for you, in its folder.

macros can be associated with any keyboard key.

If I understand what you are looking for, for exports I use creo distributed batch.
must be added during installation (but can also be done at a later time) and for me it is of infinite comfort.
I created a preset file for exporting dxf, pdf, step and dwg and I make massive exports at the end of work.

Hi.

excellent product integrated in creo but export everything to a single folder of your choice. can also be used integrated in windchill.

Hi.

who posted said "at the time of rescue"This means the creo interface must be opened and be in session.
distributed batch instead works in the background

correct .. but remember that distributed batch uses a creo license in the background so it can not be used simultaneously to create if this is open (unless having licenses in abundance).

Hello.
for the above-required features the best thing is a program a vb, very feasible!

If you need...

Hi.

hi, I have always used macros to not be convenient for massive exports in multiple formats, would you give me some tips on using distributed batch for this use?
Thank you.

 

[massimo78]

I created my basic model with the various formats that I use most (in my case plot to pdf multipage / dxf / dwg), for the rest there is little to say because it is a really banal program.
indicate the config.pro, the destination folder (I use a different for each format) and amen.
but I am really the last one who can give straight '

Hi.
I'm testing with some difficulties probably due to some of my mistakes:
These are the settingsgroup: dwg 2d export
file ttd impostato su dwg_2d_export.ttd
dsm: independentoggetti: Project directoryconfiguration file: directory|config.proOutput: files save directory

then I have other groups for pdf dxf and stp


Save
action: start all groups

but in the indicated directory I do not see exported files except only a 3d (step), there are several... and only one (dxf/pdf/dwg) that is not the 2d of the exported step
thanks for the help

 

[3Dtech]

I use macros. to each macro I assigned a letter or number of the keyboard and I made a list not to forget the correspondences. However if you have to make massive exports, it is actually better to create distributed batch.

Sorry, but I forgot to answer you.
I honestly felt like you did everything right.
The only thing I don't understand is when you write "oggetti: work directory" if you have actually selected objects or not

Sorry about the late answer,
I then solved, I thought it was enough to select the folder and not the single object.
By selecting the single file, you have to be very careful about the progress of the file.
Thank you.
