esport automation drw in dxf

[gp1nick]

Hi.

I would like to know if there is a way to tell I create to automatically save a copy in dxf format every time I save a drw, maybe specifying a folder where to save the dxf)

in practice if I am working on drw0001 and slave saves, automatically you have to create drw0001.drw and also drw0001.dxf

Is that possible?

you can register a macro (file -> options -> environment -> macro settings) which first exports the dxf and then saves the current object, then:

file -> save by name -> dxf
file -> save

the macro can also put it as an icon in the multifunction bar

great! a question: where do I save the config file of the macros?

the config must be saved or in the boot directory, or in the installation directory, other config can be activated manually.

I recommend once made the macro and verified, to go to the config and move it from text to the bottom after the settings and separating them with paragraph, so they are easier to find and move from one config and the other (especially if they are many).

I join this discussion to ask for two things (always that it has not already been dealt with elsewhere)
How can you put the macro "tastine" in the bar?
Should the macro be kept with the key combination? For example I use the function keys from f2 to f12 and the macro inserted in the All-In-One bar will have that assigned key or may not have it?

Thank you.

in the customizations of the keys, there is also the voice "macro", just edit the icon and then move it into the group of quick commands.

the macro follows exactly the combination of keys and mouse clicks, but I strongly disagree to use the keys "f1" to "f12", especially if you make macro that then you will use a button to call them (in this case I recommend using the combinations of at least 3 keys).

Good evening,
I join the discussion to ask a question:
if they are in a set and I want to perform the macro for the individual parts, i.e. open the part, create dxf, close the part, open the next and so on for all the parts...is there a way to create a macro that performs this operation for all the parts that make up a set?
Thank you.

a macro like that would make no sense, simply because as soon as you meet a particular that does not have table, you could not continue.
this is a more pdm and similar function.
there are batch programs that date a folder, open .drw files and export them to another folder in pdf, dwg and/or dxf, but they are "cucited" to measure.

I understand, we should have "similar" parts, which in a set is almost impossible.
Do you know some of these little programs?
thanks for the answer

Uh, nothing "modern" for years now that for big projects, I have the support of a pdm.
