Batch print and export

Batch print and export

Batch print and export

(OP)
Does anyone know a good way to...

1) Batch print solidworks drawings

2) Batch export from SolidWorks to eDrawings

For example, say I have a directory full of solidworks files, is there a way to batch print and export those? Alternatively, say I have a load of files open inside SolidWorks, is there a way to batch print and export?

Cheers, Tim

RE: Batch print and export

Which version of SW do you have?

The SolidWorks Task Scheduler is included with the Professional and Premium versions.

Thanks for all the responses guys. We have SW Premium 2007 but I've never come across Task Scheduler. I'll have a look.

RE: Batch print and export

The problem with any automatic method is that none (so far) account for differences in printer settings between drawings.  If you save a PDF, it changes the print settings and will print as garbage on a physical printer if you are tring to print to fit or have a different paper size.
