Add config.pro option to set DXF export to all sheets as paper space

Add config.pro option to set DXF export to all sheets as paper space

Currently when exporting DXFs you need to edit the export environment for dxf with every launch. Otherwise it defaults to Current sheet as model space. I realize a mapkey could work, but I would rather have it as a config option.

When All sheets as paper space is selected the dxf exports all sheets to a single file. This is my preferred default.

Hi ! I just found your post, and I would require the same...

I would like to export to DWG a lot of multi-sheets DRW, using "Distributed Pro/BATCH" (task done in background, without opening Pro-E/Creo interface)

I need to have all sheets as paper space, however it would require a config.pro option to load in DPB prior to executing the conversion task.

(as DBP doesn't have any of the Pro-E/Creo GUI to set options)

I am using Creo Pro/Elements 5.0.

It will also enable the postpublish to a single file DXF in Windchill.

It would be helpful to be  able to publish to paper space with this as well.

Its really wierd how this has not been implemented yet. Making sheet metal documentation with multiple pages is a pain if you dont want that white paper in .dxf or .dwg. Cant even set "include all pages" to be default in config, only works with macro. And saving every page separately in model space is a huge time waste.

Getting ideas submitted to the community turned into product enhancements is a very slow process. Unless PTC is working on that area of the code for some bigger project or they see the feature as driving new sales, the wait may be very long.
