Mass Exporting Step and Drawing Files
I have not done any work with featurescripts yet, but I'm hoping to explore this as an option. I'm mainly looking for feedback on whether or not what I am after is possible through feature scripts.
Outsourcing fabrication work requires that we export a step file and a pdf drawing for each part to be made. Currently this requires me to dig through the document, locate each part, export and save as the part number + revision and then rinse/repeat with the drawings. As you can imagine this is a cumbersome and lengthy process.
Would it be possible to write a feature script to automate this process? Essentially I need a way to select a bunch of parts and drawings and then export in some standardized naming convention that is a derivative of the part number and revision.
