We have a large set of drawings that we outsource for manufacturing however we don't want to share all the information on the drawing. I need two versions of the drawing an internal and external copy, the internal has all the information, external is only partial.
If there a way to make a macro to print to pdf, but it will turn off the layer which has the additional internal information? Also since these drawings have a minimum of 2 sheets, up to 4 with the last always being the dxf of the part can I have the system always save the last sheet as a dxf and the remaining sheets into one PDF file?
I just don't know where to start I tried to record a macro and go from there however it was unsuccessful.
Thanks.
The real art of programming is deconstructing your problem in pieces so small that a computer can execute them. Start small and don't try to everything at once.
It this case that would mean:
When you want to deal with multiple files at once, you can either write you own software to do that or use existing software like BatchProcess of #Task. I don't think #task is very user friendly, but it has some smart features to prevent timeouts and other cock-ups.
It seems that every single company has trouble printing documents the right way. Does nobody know any software that can do this properly? Otherwise I'm gonna build it myself soon.
