Batch Exporting

I have a drawing with 50 configurations, each of which I'd like to
export to .igs and .sat. Is there a way to do this in Solidworks? Are
there any utilities I can download that will do this? The only thing I
found in the archives is "PAC4SWX", which doesn't seem to have what I
want. I saw one post from Solidworks World 2001 which listed batch
print/translate as no. 56 on the user request list.

Thanks,

Macro wouldn't be too hard. you would need to attach to the activedoc get a
list of the configs and save each one out.

 

You are right, PAC4SWX doesn't di this ... intentionally. I have
designed it to batch print, convert or macro-run it for multiple
files, not multiple configurations.

But one of our fellows in the german webforum made the kind of
macro you are looking for and allowed me to put it on one of
my websites. Please go to http://solidworks.cad.de/mm_boerse02.htm
and download the macro 16 ( ExportConfigAs ) and give it a try.

HTH,

Thanks. I got a macro from Dynabits that is extremely simple and does a
good job.
