Hi, I want to automatically generate pdf and dxf file from drw file while publishing it on Windchill. Is there any way to solve this because for now, I do it manually.

Yes, very common and fairly straight forward to do.  Start here:

Snippet from my publish rules (that do this same thing) is here:

    Is that enough? I can't check it right now if it works.
