define destination folder for pdf file created by worker

[Durga]

Hi All,

We have one folder "Released Drawings" which is been accessible by processing, manufacturing, supplier. It has Read & download access. We want the pdf drawing published by the worker to automatically dumped in Released Drawing folder.

What steps we may need to take.

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Durga.

Hi

There is no functionality to export the result of a publish event to a folder. After publishing by the worker the files are stored back in Windchill. You need to write a Java program to export the contents of a viewable to a folder and run this program.You find plenty of examples on the knowledge base and on the web.
