Hey all,

I've been trying for days to get a script working in PDM and I'm getting absolutely nowhere. Would anyone be able to give me some advice on why my script isn't working and how I can fix it, or any good resources to learn about scripting? I haven't been able to find much on the internet about it but I'm sure it's out there.

This is the script I have at the moment. This is the entire script from start to finish, which is copied and pasted straight into the PDM Task script section. The data card it uses just has one drop down list to choose the recipient. The task is supposed to create a folder if it doesn't already exist, save any drawings as PDFs and any sheet metals parts as flat pattern DXFs. I thought this was a fairly simple task, but I can't get it to do literally anything. It doesn't even create a folder.

Option Explicit
Dim swApp As Object
Sub main()
Set swApp = Application.SldWorks
    Set swModel = swApp.ActiveDoc
'get file name
Dim fileName As String
fileName = "<Filename>"
'get file revision
Dim fileRevision As String
swCustPropMgr.Get3 "Revision", True, fileRevision, Empty
'get document recipient
Dim docRecipient As String
docRecipient = "{Transmittal Recipient}"
'get date and make string
Dim todDate As Date 
todDate = Date.Now()
Dim docDate As String
docDate = todDate.ToString("yyyy_MM_dd")
'get vault path
Dim vaultPath As String
vaultPath = "<VaultPath>"
'create save folder
Dim folderPath As String
folderPath = vaultPath & "\Document Transmittals\" & docRecipient & "\"
Dim folder As IEdmFolder5
folder = folderPath.AddFolder(Me.Handle.ToInt32(), fileDate)
Dim savePath As String
savePath = folderPath & fileDate & "\"
'create save name
Dim saveName As String
saveName = fileName & "-" & fileRevision
'if file is drawing save as PDF
If "<Extension>" = ".slddrw" then
swModel.Extension.SaveAs savePath & saveName & ".pdf", swSaveAsCurrentVersion, swSaveAsOptions_Silent, Nothing, Errors, Warnings
'if file is part and has sheet metal save flat pattern as DXF
Elseif "<Extension>" = ".sldprt" then
bRet = swModel.ExportFlatPatternView(savePath & saveName & ".dxf", 1)
End If
End Sub

I'd really appreciate any help or advice.

Thanks,

Tom.
