hello,

I would need a help with autoranaming exported dxf files according to two parameters.

The first part of the name would be name of the top level assembly (for ex.473-4445) and the second one a local parameter of the exported part (for ex. P1)

The full name of the exported dxf would be 473-4445_P1

Thanks for help in advance

T.

Tomas,

e:\users\hlavinkat\creo\config.pro must contain: bom_format E:\users\hlavinkat\creo\mybom.fmt

I made a mistake in previous Reply.

Because DESKA_ORBIT_ drawing is placed on sheet inside 473-4439.drw (assembly drawing), there is no simple method how to fulfil your request.

Automation would be possible, if separate DESKA_ORBIT_.drw exists for DESKA_ORBIT_.prt.

So we can "close" this Discussion.

Tomas,

to be able to automate some activity, you have to be able to describe how do you do that activity manually.

In you case:

> How do you get assembly name ?

> How do you get parameter value ?

If you know the above information, you can use AutoIt/AutoHotkey to record manual steps.

assembly name is a model name of top level assembly (pic1)

the parameter value is actually a bouble number made by integer and some extra symbols added (pic2, paremeter DXF_NAME)

the name of exported dxf should be 473-4439_P1 in this case

Tomas,

my guess about what you want to do is that:

you want to open an assembly, for example 473-4439
you want to export something to DXF format, for example DESKA_ORBIT_ part

Question: Which objects do you want to export ? Are you sure that they contain DXF_NAME parameter ?

Top assembly ?

All subassemblies ?

All parts ?

Question: Do you want to export 3D models into 3D DXF or their drawings into 2D DXF ?
