Thanks. This looks promising.
However on the first try I encountered a problem (I think it roots in the sample which have sections cut out)
" 'sDXFOutList' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level."
I downloaded VisualStudio and started some tutorials to dig deeper into the VB programming world but so far my progress is veery basic and slow. Another guy on forums suggested to use it because it gives possible solutions to these problems, also I quickly jumped into the software without any proper preparations becaue my time is limited for these projects. Neither possible fix was successful so I'm stuck here.
Tried the rule with
oDrawDoc = ThisApplication.Documents.Open(iptPathName, False)
but it failed to complete after the first sheet metal export. So I'll sit and wait until it scrolls through all my components.
Just thinking out loud, is it possible to limit the "search area" for the rule? For example we are using a standardized project number for every machine. It's set up like this for example:
VT-21-1550_PRESSFIT_MACHINE
VT is our company abbreviation, 21 is the project year, 1550 or whatever is the project number.
Every assembly, part and drawing has the same name w/o company name and year, e.g. :1550-010-001-A0.
My idea is that we only need to check the custom made parts with our standard part number if they are sheet metal or not then export only those. ContentCenter, Library and other not specifically named parts could be skipped to reduce overall process time.
I'll click accept on your replies because my original problem is solved now, the rule works as intended.
Thanks for everything!
