Pro/E - saving .drw as .dxf with Mapkey wildcard / default filename
Pro/E - saving .drw as .dxf with Mapkey wildcard / default filename
(OP)
Hello,
I'm trying to write a Mapkey to save a .drw files as a .dxf file in a specific folder. Is there a "wildcard" character that I can use when saving a .dxf?
We're using Intralink, so the "Save a Copy" is currently set to a specific working folder. I'd like to set the Mapkey to save the DXF to a constant folder not in the working directory.
The only way I've gotten it work saving a .dxf is to open the "Save a Copy", choose .dxf from the pulldown, and then paste the path into the New Name field - something like, if * was a working wildcard / default name:
I:/MYFOLDER/TEMP/*.dxf
When I've tried making the Mapkeys it either doesn't work, or saves every dxf as the same filename I used originally. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I ask because you are posting in the SolidWorks forum.
