Hi All,

 

Hearing a lot of praise for the tool called #Task

https://cloud.centralinnovation.com.au/WebSharpSwTask

 

Does anyone know can it be used to generate PDF's automatically in EPDM on state changes?

 

From their website it looks promising:

 

Save PDF

Save SolidWorks document (part, assembly or drawing) to PDF or 3D PDF; User should deselect option "background mode" in #Task settings if zooming is required

 

SolidWorks PDM Integration (Beta)

This plugin consists of 2 scripts which enable the integration with SolidWorks PDM. The files in the vault can be checked-out and checked-in while processing in #TASK

 

 

Thanks

Correct Answer

Hello Chris,

 

Unfortunately at the moment #TASK cannot be launched from SOLIDWORKS PDM. However next version will allow to use command lines arguments so it will be possible to call it from the Transition action as the command:

 

 

But you can also use standard out-of-the-box Convert to PDF Task in PDM and invoke it from the transition: 2015 SOLIDWORKS PDM Help - Transition Action Dialog Box

 

 

You can even generate PDFs on a remote machine using this PDM task.

 

Thanks,

Artem
