I need someone to help me in finding a macro

Hi,
I need someone to help me in finding a macro with what I can export any part or Assembly file in some different format (Available in in Save As menu in Solidworks) like X_T, X_B, STP, STEP, IGS, IGES, prt, STL, DWG, DXF, PDF, 3D PDF etc with a single click.
What I want, that I will run the macro and select the checkbox of what type of format I like to export. Once I will select the required checkbox and click okay, then it will save all requested format in the same directory of main file or any desired directory. I expect an option for Drawing file also where I can export DWG, DXF, PDF from the SLDDRW file with a single click.

Currently I am using Solidworks-2016.

I saw a post like it. But there the requirement was only to export a single format (STEP) “Automatic File Export Macro”. In that post Deepak Gupta gave a great solution. My requirements are same as this post but I want little bit extra. Multiple files with a single click.

With Best Regards
Sobuj

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THIS APPLICATION and CODE IS NOW YOUR, NO SUPPORT IS PROVIDED, I CANNOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITIES ON THE RESULT AND HOW YOU USE IT.

  All,
  Unfortunately there is a known bug with SaveAs and the 'Exterior Faces' option. The SaveAs call causes random COMException when the 'Exterior Faces' option is set using API.
  It's logged under SPR 1001285 as a regression. This was working in SW2015 SP5 and broke somewhere between then and SW2016 SP5.
  The tool "SaveAssyConfigsAsPart.zip - Google Drive " published earlier does suffer from the COMException...
  
  The only thing I found that was similar was to try to save as a defeatured file. It's not quite the same as exterior faces though. The other option is to use it on SW2015 SP5 until the bug is fixed.
