Why is macro for exporting DWG repeating sheets?

Jimena Mardjetko May 18, 2015 7:54 AM

Hi everyone, I have a macro to export DWG and PDF of each of the drawings I have open in my Solidworks. It used to work perfectly but for some reason now when I have more than one sheet in a drawing, it exports all the sheets several times adding "00, 01, 02" etc at the beginning.... this only happens with the DWGs and not with the PDF.

Does anyone know how to solve it? I'm attaching the macro and a screenshot of the problem. Many thanks in advance!

Set "Print active sheet only" from export options. Your program will activate each sheet one by one and you will have otherwise multiple copies.

  Thank you Tapani, I thought it was an issue with the macro and not with SW. That's a relief!

    You could also have the codes in macro to set this option.
