Hi All,

I am configuring the Custom CAD Worker following the PTC article ( https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS40919). As mentioned in the article, I have to create a command line utility or script that can take an AutoCAD DWG file as an input and create PDF as Output.

Did anyone has configured the Custom AutoCAD worker? Please share the steps to configure the utility or Script. There are third party tools for conversion but I don't want to use them.

Thanks,

Bhagirath

After exhausting all the options, I have decided to use the Third party tool for dwg to pdf conversion. Now I'm facing difficulty on how to configure this setup i.e. creating bat scripts required. If anyone has configured this setup, please let me know.

We are able to create a custom AutoCAD worker using this Any DWG to PDF converter (DWG to PDF Converter - AnyDWG). The only we face is that the this custom AutoCAD Worker is not stable when running in Windows Window 2008 R2 (did have time to try it on 2012 or 2012 R2); however, it is running fine on Window 7 Professional. The other issue is some conversion took longer than 10 min., that is why many of our published turned out failed due to 600 sec. timeout setting.
