iLogic rule: save idw as pdf in user specified folder.

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have a rule which automatically saves an idw as a pdf file with the drawing's revision number as a post-fix. 

Unfortunately, I've only managed to get the pdf automatically saved in a predefined location. 

What I am looking for is a code which enables a pop-up window which will ask the user where pdf file shall be stored, similar to a save-copy-as window.

Can anyone help me with this?

Cheers,

Lars

Hi Manuel!

Thank you for your reply. The code you referred to is ALMOST what I am looking for. However, the referred to code automatically copies a pdf file into a specific location. What I am looking for is a window that pops up after running the rule, which allows to user to browse to a folder location where he or she wants to store the pdf.

Look up "FolderDialog".

There is a save option within the function that makes the window mimic the save as functionality.

Note this function/feature will just return a string from the selection window, and you will have to pass that string to your Save method.

ie; see this blog post:
