Create a PDF file automatically, using API

Create a PDF file automatically, using API

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

Most of my suppliers (precision engineering companies) require me to send them PDF files of detail manufacturing drawings so that they can open them on there computer. The suppliers can be close by, or hundreds of miles away!

 

Can you add a API command that allows the automatic creation of a PDF file, the same name as the open drawing and sore it in a specific folder, via a API command.

 

For example,

 

Say I have a detail drawing open in Fusion 360, if I press the "SAVE" button, a PDF file will automatically be created without any other user input, in a folder specified by the API. This will reduce the amount of time having to manually create a PDF file, from Fusion all the time!

 

This, in my case, whereby I could have thousands of drawings that need converting to PDF, pressing the "SAVE" button only instead of the "SAVE" button then the "OUTPUT" > "PDF" > "Name the PDF file" > "Select the output folder"

 

This is available in Inventor (& SolidWorks) but not in fusion.

 

Is there any way I can get this implemented by paying to have this update added to the list of API commands???

 

Kindest Regards

 

Darren

This idea should be implemented!

 

I think that it should also be added to the options as well so that the feature can be either switched "On" or "Off".

 

I create Pdf files of all of our drawings manually. To have the Pdf file created when I press save would save me doing this.
