Solid Works 'Print All' options

Solid Works 'Print All' options

Solid Works 'Print All' options

(OP)
There are many times when an option to print all open drw's in SolidWorks would be very helpfull. I've heard of ways to do this after the file has been saved as a pdf. I am curious as to whether or not there is a way to print all the drw's currently open in a session of Solid Works vs printing one at a time. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

RE: Solid Works 'Print All' options

You could batch print files and/or folders using SolidWorks Task Scheduler

I know, its not exactly what you were asking for (files that are open), but for me the files I have open are generally in the same folder location

CADFlyer,
  I ran a trial using Task Scheduler and wasn't able to find options for scaling drws to 'scale to fit' which is the default of my SW. That cause printing scales to be wrong. Aside from that it also took more time vs just opening them all and manually printing. I can see this as a usefull tool when in dire need to multi-task. Thank you for your input.

Check out a utility called PAC4SWX, it may help.

Thanks guys,
  Both the utility and batch process are noted on Solid Works website and look like good options. I'll have to check around and see if I can download these through IT.
