Pack and Go

Pack and Go

(OP)
How can i use the Pack and Go to print using 2007 SP4?

RE: Pack and Go

(OP)
I use task scheduler quite a bit. The problem i run into is that when we get ready to run a project they always want the complete drawing package printed. Because the designs are created from part of other projects the files are all over the place. Pack and go is nice because it finds all those referenced drawing, task scheduler you have to know were the files are, and you have to repeat the tedious process every time.

I know what people might say, get a better file structure, but unfortuantly this mess was in place before my time.

Maybe i am missing something along the way, but is there a way to create a custom task that can do what i need and can be find all the referenced drawings?

RE: Pack and Go

So use Pack and Go to copy all files and related drawings to one temporary folder, and then print all drawings from there.

cheers

(OP)
Tried it, unfortuantly it only takes the drawings in the current directory. Even tried on small sub and all i got was what is in the current directory.

In hopes of someday being able to get this created i started a new post to enable the forward of me education so please post there. Thanks

RE: Pack and Go

If you make a temporary copy of the top level assy and top level assy drawing into a top level folder.  (ie. one which which contains the other components or the folders they are in.) the sub-component drawings will be included.

cheers
