Batch export DXF of multiple files with different criteria.

Hello everyone,

 

I'm looking for a possible solution for a time consuming manual work I have to deal with everyday.

We're usually outsourcing sheet metal and plastic work to some of our local suppliers. They all are working from DXF files, but inhouse we're using STEP and PDF for manufacturing documents. I have to manually export every .dwg to .dxf after the project has been completed, but some of our machines consists of dozens, if not hundreds of said parts.

 

I want to export all those file's .dwg into dxf with the following criterias.

 

So the requirements are:

Sheet Metal

Material - VIVAK

Material - EUROPLEX SDX

Material - DIBOND

 

Also for every folded sheet metal there has to be a flat pattern exported to .STEP also.

 

I'm using the Drawing Porter addin for quick and easy exporting of STEP and PDF files, but said program can not export flat patterns to STEP, so it would be nice if all could be done with one flick of a finger.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Have a great day,

Balázs
