3D-Pdf export to same location as 3D-file

[Kupiszewski_A_]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to write an ilogic rule that creates a 3D PDF and saves it in the same folder (or subfolder) as the original 3D part. I've tried many things, but it just doesn't work.

Can someone please help me?

Thank you very much!

Hello @Kupiszewski_A_ ,

there is a VBA-Sample to export 3D-PDF:
https://help.autodesk.com/view/INVNTOR/2025/ENU/?guid=ExportToPDF3D_Sample
I created a iLogic rule from that. This rule exports the active document to 3D-Pdf (same folder as model).

You have to adjust the template filenames (line 16/18) and the names of the design views (line 34/35).

hallo cidhelp!

Thank you very much It works great!

I modified the rule. It creates a subfolder for the PDF. That works too. But it remains empty.

The PDF is saved in the main folder.

Can you please take a look at it?

Thank you very much for your help!

you have to replace line

Dim ExportFileName = ThisDoc.ChangeExtension(".pdf")

with

Dim ExportFileName = oFolder & ThisDoc.FileName & ".pdf"
