Procedure for releasing files?
(OP)
When we release a drawing we need to create an:
-IGES of the part
-DXF of the drawing
-DWG of the drawing
-PDF of the drawing
-Create backup copy of original part/assembly along with drawing.
We also need to add the appropriate Rev at the end (123-45-678_RevA)
Is there a streamline approach for this?
Batch files? Mapkeys?
I'm not familiar with creating Batch files so the more details the better.

How many people are working on Pro/E in your office? If more than 3, you should invest in a PDM solution.
Mapkeys might be the best way to export all of the data types we require.

We have a total of 15-20 ProE users here.
Thanks.

Search paths can function for some of this, but it doesn't prevent 2 (or more) people from creating a new part with the same name and placing it in different folders. When an assembly is loaded, how does it know which component to load?
