ProE PDF Creation

ProE PDF Creation

ProE PDF Creation

(OP)
In WF, you can create a PDF file from picking a simple icon.  When the file is created, it is stored on the user's C drive.  I would like for it to be stored in the working directory or work space.  Is this managed somehow in the config.pro file?

Also, we have 100's of ProE drawings that need to have a PDF file created.  Is there a batch utility available that can create multiple PDF file without having to open every drawing and manually creating the file?

Thanks for your help.

I believe the Config Option is pdf_plot_config.

I use http://www.pdf995.com/

Does anyone know of a free hp2 viewer that will work on a 64-bit workstation?
Thanks

RE: ProE PDF Creation

TCGT,

For what it's worth, I also regurally create pdf versions of all the drawings I do.

I have 'mapkeys' set up for all the sizes A0, A1..A4 and also for single and multiple sheets.

I find this works fine. Not quite batch printing though.
