Vault Plot Manager - Multiple sheet idw to PDF

[karthur1]

Been looking at the Vault Plot Manager.  I am trying to set it up so that I can plot all my related idws for an assembly.  I want the output to be to Adobe PDF.  The problem with this is that when I have multiple sheets, the only sheet I get sent to PDF is the last one.

Take for instance, this plot job.

If I run this job, it will first print the Sheet1 to pdf, then sheet 2 for the F3275-007.idw.  When I view the folder for the pdf's there will only be one there named F3275-007.pdf. It will be for sheet 2.

Same thing for the F3344-001.idw.... there will only be one pdf and it will be for sheet3.  I am sure it printed both sheet1 and sheet2 to the pdf, but it overwrote them when it saved sheet3.

Is there a way to get all the sheets saved that get output to pdf?

It would be nice if I could get all the sheets for the one job consolidated to one single pdf that has multiple pages.  I manually have to combine them all now.

Thanks,

Kirk

When I print a drawing from Inventor that has multiple sheets, it will create a pdf that has multiple sheets.  If I could get this from the Vault Plot Manager, then I could work with that.  The way it is now, I can't use this.

This was one reason that we upgraded to Vault Pro was so we could do batch plotting from there.

Did you ever resolve this? I have the same problem.

I don't use the Vault plot manager.  When I am needing to print all the associated IDW of an assembly, I now use iLogic.  See this link.

I have attached the code below.  If you don't understand how to use the iLogic, post back and I can step you thru it.

Thanks,

Thanks Kirk,

I'll give it a go. Don't have a ton of iLogic experience, totally get it just not the time to learn.
