    We have been using SolidWorks since SW 99. We still have a large
    number of files in our legacy format, Cadkey (.PRT). Our current plans
    are to start using PDF files as our "master" drawing for manufacturing.
    While there are a number of options to do this with SolidWorks (custom
    macro, Bluebeam, PAC4SWX, etc), im trying to find the best way to do
    this for our Cadkey files.

    Anyone know a way to batch convert (or batch print) files in Cadkey?

    There is SolidWorks Task Scheduler available to SW Office Pro/Premium
    users I think. I don't know if it handles CadKey files. Other than
    that your best option would be a simple macro. It could iterate
    through your parts directory and open each cadkey file. Then save the
    file as PDF. Good luck.
