Exporting an assembly drawing package in diff. files - dwg and pdf

Hello, 

 

I have a question regarding exporting dwgs. Is it possible to export a full dwg package of an assembly (weldment) with its sub parts using one option (using Python or something if not default available). Please see example below

 

I have a weldement A with 2 sub parts (A1 & A2) welding together in the assembly A. when I am exporting inventor dwgs to AutoCad dwgs, I have open each component dwg (for this example, there will be three - weldement dwg and individual part dwgs) and then export it to autocad dwg. I want to know if there is or can be a single option using which I can just export all three dwgs together in a folder?

 

Please let me know if some one has any idea how i can approach towards solving this as it will greatly solve my time saving problem.

 

Thanks

Use the Inventor Task Scheduler under Start Menu > All Apps > Autodesk Inventor.
Create Task > Export Files > Add files and/or folders.
Same for PDF with: Create Task > Print Files > add files/folders then select Options > pick your PDF printer selection.

Drawing Porter, free from the AutoDesk app store does this. From an assembly file it finds all of the sub-parts then lets you export as drawings or models. It also list any parts that it can't find drawings for.

Anywhere you like, you can specify a folder to receive the files.
