ilogic rule to automatically carry pdf, dwg and step

[Lorenzo1996]

Good morning.
I press that I am completely ignorant in ilogic field.
I need that at the time of saving a .idw file the relative .pdf and .dwg is also created and that every time I edit and save the .idw file is modified (or overwritten) automatically the .pdf and .dwg files created previously.
all must be saved in the same location where the .idw file is saved.
I also need a similar rule that creates a .step file when saving the .ipt file and that overwrites (or modifies) the .step file at the time of editing+saving the .ipt file.
I hope I've been clear.

this is an ilogic rule that saves dwg and pdf but not automatically to save , you must execute it

thisdoc.document.saveas(thisdoc.changeextension('dwg'), true)
thisdoc.document.saveas(thisdoc.changeextension(".pdf), true)

Good morning, what you ask is feasible with a little work to write the rules and configure automatic triggers.
I believe however that a forum is not the most indicated channel for a request of this type as getting the described result requires time and knowledge... even just explain how ilogic triggers work to those who never put their hands on us is not exactly immediate.

in any case there are free apps for inventor that export dwg-pdf-step and more, although clicking the command and not automatically, but maybe it can help.
this is ours for example (I repeat that it is free):

Hi, I look good with this:

https://apps.autodesk.com/invntor/it/detail/index?id=3275134152794222964&applang=en&os=win64

if you want you can select the idw of the main axieme and he does it automatically pdf. dwg, sat and step of the axieme and all subassiemi and parts.


then I made one myself that I saved on the idw template and that saves in the folder you want your idw in pdf, dwg and dxf:

syntaxeditor code snippetstrfolder = "c:\wrkvault\production\_export tables\" & thisdoc.filename(false) 'without extension
thisdoc.document.saveas(strfolder & (".pdf) , true
thisdoc.document.saveas(strfolder & (".dwg), true
thisdoc.document.saveas(strfolder & (".dxf) , true

messagebox.show("all formats were saved", "table lift")


but saves in the specified folder in the first row
