print a table in pdf with the name of the parameter "code"

[The X]

save to all, at work use wf4 and pdmlink 9.x and it is a lot of time that I would like to be able to automate the printing of our tables in pdf format making sure that the file produced automatically has the value of the parameter "code" that each part and/or together possesses.

by default the generated pdf has the file name .drw and then I have to manually rename from windows the pdf with the assigned company code, with the risk of typing errors etc.

tell me you can do it!!!!!!! !

Thank you.

p.s. who solves my big problem has a beer paid in Romagna....ehheehhe :biggrin:

here you use a procedure to the reverse, in the sense that the code is extracted from the first part of the component name
as below:1234567801_description_bravethe first eight digits indicate the code, the figures in red indicate the revision index and the short description helps somehow in the search.
a report is inserted in the component that extracts the two strings for the code and the revision index.

how to print the pdf and truncate the name ... sincerely I never tried, see if someone has a solution.
If you use a pdm I know that the problem is easy to solve.

b.b.: other than beer you have to pay, here we want money... and in advance

dani : I tried to spat with distributed-batch but it seems to me to understand that it is a software to automate a series of inspections....I print it I want to do one at a time and cmq the file that prints the batch has cmq always the name of my table. ..you should understand if within .ttd projects you can set the output file name equal to the value of a variable or parameter. . .

maxopus : in my file (e.g. 123456.prt) I have already created a parameter, called "code" which I hand-check (e.g. bs312512) according to the company code.

what I would like to do is print pdf instead of as 123456.pdf as bs312512.pdf

You can do it, but other than beer you have to offer. I'm Swiss, not German!

Unfortunately, I don't know the procedure well, I've just pointed out the old discussion.

if someone can come in handy I managed, through bash script, to create a macro to do the operation in question

 

[DANI-3D]

Hi.
If you place it, I try it.

 

[The X]

tomorrow I set up the macro by putting us qlc comment and then you place it, because being very personalized a minimum you will have to adapt it to vs situation

 

[The X]

eccomi qua, come promesso vi posto le mie 2 macro che con molta fatica sono riuscito a realizzare....

premesse :

1) d:\work_areawf4\dxf_stp_igs --> directory di lavoro (dove vengono salvati i vari files esportati da pro-e)
2) h:\\standard\\macro --> directory dove ho salvato gli script batch
3) opzioni del config.pro da avere --> new_parameter_ui yes --> new_relation_ui yes

! con il modello aperto (prt o asm) premendo questa macro si apre automaticamente la messa in tavola associata ad esso,
! ovvero quella con lo stesso codice-file. (es. 123456.prt --> apre il 123456.drw)

[dema]

I'm sorry, I admit I didn't read all the macro you wrote, I just wanted to ask you one thing:

Does it also work having different folders?
It seems to me that you set up a path to look for the harvests at the table.

 

[The X]

@dema: I don't understand what you want to ask me....

The two macros work as follows:

1) I extract in a txt file the parameters from 3d or from table setting
2) extract from the txt file the parameter to me necessary (e.g. code) or alternatively echo from the txt file name the file name opened in 3d (e.g. if it is generated 123456_par.txt then 123456 is the name of my file)
3) I create a trail file with the macro that I want to run, using the name of the newly created file (I needed the macros "open drawing" and "print in hpgl" but you can unbalance as you want)
4) I run the macro running the trail file.

end

 

[dema]

1) d:\work_areawf4\dxf_stp_igs --> work directory (where the various files exported by pro-e are saved)
2) h:\standard\\\macro --> directory where I saved batch scripts
3) config.pro options to have --> new_parameter_ui yes --> new_relation_ui yes

I'll change my percorted cheese d:\work_areawf4\dxf_stp_igs? ? because if I have to write the path where he looks for the drawings I change folder several times a day.

Sorry but you work with a pdm if you then we do not use it we cannot use your macros.. .

thanks the same

ah here, if you change workbook every day use such a macro becomes uncomfortable.. .
