Priyank Barot May 29, 2014 8:51 AM

Hi Everyone.

I need to generate pdf from lots of drawing but i want only first sheet to be export in pdf?

Solidworks Task Scheduler doesn't have option select sheet no. to convert.

If anyone has any macro to do it?

Thanks in adavance,

Can you give it a shot. Please try on sample files first.

This has been tested on SW2014 SP3 Win 7 x64. So in case you've lower version of SW, you may need to fix the reference libraries in the macro.

        The macro is working fine for me. Can you suggest if the earlier one with the sheet name included was working you OR not.
