I need to create an embedded macro in my drawing template that will save a copy of the active document in a new location upon the initial saving of the document or whenever I hit the save button. I also need to export all layouts to a single pdf in the new location. The files created in the new location also need to be given a new name which is the "9000000" of the original file name (Ex: SO 12345 LINE 12 - 9000000 DRAWINGS). I need this to be completely automatic, not requiring any inputs or actions by the user... if possible.
I am way more familiar with iLogic and don't know much about using VBA in AutoCad though I can understand what a VBA program is saying. Any ideas?
