Automatically Save multiple formats of files

Automatically Save multiple formats of files

Automatically Save multiple formats of files

(OP)
I found a great SW add-in which will automatically save .pdf, .dwg, and .dxf to a specified folder everytime I save a drawing. This reduces alot of time saving over and over in multiple formats. I am wondering if anyone knows of an add-in which will save and .iges file to a specified location everytime I save a part or assembly.

RE: Automatically Save multiple formats of files

It is probably just a simple tweak to your existing macro.  You should post the code.  There are users here that are probably willing to help you through the process... and as a bonus, you will get to learn a little about the code.

I used a program which has already been created called SWupBB. Here is the link to the download. If I could modify the code for the program to add .igs that would be great, or another standalone program works too.

E-mail the developer...  A very good chance he can add that to his code.
