3DVision Technologies SolidWorks expert Jeff Sweeney provides technical tips and tricks in using SolidWorks 3D Design products.
Would you like to have your SolidWorks Enterprise PDM 2011 tasks be able to [batch] print your dwg files as well as your SolidWorks drawings?
It is pretty easy, you only need to make a few changes to your Print Task’s “Advanced Scripting Options”.
Click on the advanced scripting options button in the bottom of the “Files” section.
Now all you have to do is find the function “bIsSupportedExtension” and replace all of it with this code:
Function bIsSupportedExtension(oExtension) As Boolean
oExtension=lcase(oExtension)
If oExtension = "prt" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "asm" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "drw" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "dxf" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "dwg" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = True
ElseIf oExtension = "psd" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "ai" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "lfp" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "sldlfp" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "prtdot" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "asmdot" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "drwdot" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "x_t" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "x_b" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "xmt_txt" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "xmt_bin" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "igs" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "iges" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "step" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "stp" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "sat" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "vda" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "wrl" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "stl" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "cgr" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "wrl" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "xpr" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "xas" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "ipt" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "iam" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "par" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "psm" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "ckd" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "emn" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "brd" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "bdf" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "idb" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
ElseIf oExtension = "3dm" Then
bIsSupportedExtension = False
Else
bIsSupportedExtension = False
End If
End Function
Lastly, if you wish to have all the prints “Scaled to fit” (regardless of file type) -add this highlighted line in the location shown:
