Macro for exporting CATdrawing to pdf

Hi guys,

As I make many 2D drawing it would be a big save of time to run a macro that saves the document and automatically export to the same folder the .pdf file.

The only language I have available is VBScript.

Thanks for your help.

Jose, even I can do that!

You will just use the lines:

  Set drawingDocument1 = CATIA.ActiveDocument

   drawingDocument1.ExportData mdoc, "pdf"

where mdoc is the path\filename of the output file

Hi Phil,

Thanks for your attention but I want to use the activedocument's name and the path to export the .pdf.

How can I do that?

I think we can use .path to get the path of the active document, something as following:

str1=oDoc.path

str2=oDoc.fullname
