Use ptcdbatch.bat (PTC Distributed Batch) assuming it was included as part of your Creo installation .  It's located in the parametric\bin directory.

Hi Pradeep,

You can use the PDF DRW Single Page Export or PDF DRW Multi Page Export ttd file, within Creo Distributed Batch.

Thanks,

Amit

I think I can remember you can specify a config.pro file to get the same setup as if you were in Creo.

Hi,

I used "PDF DRAW Multipage Export Visible" along with my config.pro. But the tasks submitted in Creo Distributed Batch are getting Failed. Please help me.!!

I tried also to set up Creo Distributed Batch a while ago, but never managed to avoid these errors. It seems to happen randomly. At this time I opened a case on support, but it was never solved. And finally, I found it quicker to export my drawings one by one directly in Creo.

hi,

i fix my problems by setting the creo distributed batch like this:

 

i copied the plot_drw_single_pg_to_pdf.ttd in my config directory, changing its name.to plot_drw_single_pg_to_pdf_lap.ttd

and i modify some things.

Like getting monochrome print instead of colors

<color enum="PRO_PDF_CD_MONO"/>

or cad fonts instead of true type for example

<font enum="PRO_PDF_STROKE_ALL_FONTS"/>

exporting all sheets instead of a single one

<sheets enum="PRINT_ALL_SHEETS"/>

 

(in the end of post the complete ttd xml file)

 

then i create a distributed batch pointing to that file

in the configuration file i added just my config.pro that have inside all information about colors plotter and pen table.

it works. some time i have to run the task and manually select the objects, right click and send them again.
