Express DXF macro

Hello all,

 

Im fairly skilled with Inventor but a complete noobie to macros/VBA's. I have some programming knowledge and would like some guidance in making a macro to do the following:

 

1. "Save Copy As" of a flat pattern that will be open

2. Request the user to input BOM quantity and assembly quantity

3. Multiply the BOM quantity by the assembly quantity to get an integer "Z"

4. Save the flat pattern as XXXXX-XX-XX-Z

 

Before I start coding I'd just like to know if this is possible and any advice I can get.

 

Thanks,

Brendan
