Hi All,

I am after a macro that would allow me to save both a PDF & JPEG of a drawing with the current revision status of the part/assembly suffixed to the output file name. The revision status will be on a revision table found on the drawing rather than a custom property of the part/assembly.

Essentially I would like to see a the output file name of both the PDF & JPEG to be "XXXXXX-A" and saved in the folder that the part/assembly is currently saved in. I'm hoping that if/when the part/assembly is ever up-issued the macro will see the next revision status and will amend the new output file name accordingly (XXXXXX-B) once the macro is run again.

Is this something that can be done? I have very little experience with macro writing and this would save me a huge amount of time in my day to day routine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

James
