Create Combined PDF Package

Currently running Vault Workgroup 2019 and Inventor 2019 (no service packs on either).

 

I've been starting to use the lifecycle PDF function in Vault. I'm curious if there is a way for me to choose a top-level model/drawing and say "Create a combined PDF that has the top-level drawing AND all children of the top level model/drawing"

 

This would be extremely useful for creating packages to send to fabricators, rather than having to pick and choose the PDF's and possibly miss some or grab unrelated files accidentally.

 

(On top of that, I want to have a cover page added that has the job info and some space for comments, engineer stamp, etc, but I'd be happy to at least get a package created of all children.)

Edit: I might have overlooked the Plot Manager for printing all children of a file.  Currently looking into that. From what I've seen that should work fine.

 

Customization I'd be looking for:

1) Ability to recognize when a child of the top level assembly's model has been updated more recently than the drawing file and warn me (to ensure that the drawing is up to date based on the most current model).

2) Ability to recognize when a child of the top level assembly doesn't currently have a drawing created and warn me (to ensure we're not completely missing files in the drawing package that should be there).
