Exporting files with revision level in the filename

Anonymous · ‎06-05-2017

Hello,

I'm trying to see if there is a way to use Task Scheduler or something along those lines to be able to export Inventor .IDW files to a .dxf with the Inventor revision level in the name. For example export Inventor_part.idw to Inventor_part_REVA.dxf. I'm currently running Autodesk Inventor Professional 2015. If this isn't directly possible to do in Task Scheduler, can this be done through the .ini file for the file export, or a .xml file for the customization feature? I would appreciate any help I can get.

Not too sure if there is something built in, but there are definitely lots of iLogic rules around here on the form that do the same thing or are close to doing it.

You can have a look at this, it is a method to create custom tasks using the task scheduler.
