Batch Printing

I need a tool that allows the batch printing of a drawing set based on a list.  Our production team currently uses a tool for SolidWorks that allows them to list a collection of drawing numbers that are all "B" sized drawings in PDF format, and send them all to the copier/printer at once.  We print hundreds of production drawings per day.  Opening one by one is providing resistance to full adoption of Onshape.  The drawing list is keyed in based on a specific property of the drawing.  In our case, it would be a custom property that we created; "SKU number". I would be willing to use a third party tool.

    Such a tool is very possible using Onshape's API. In fact, we have developed a proprietary application that we use to put all drawings as PDFs into a zip file and download it from the site. However, we have not developed the tool to a point where we can securely release it, nor have we added in functionality like filtering by properties.
