How to export all the latest released drawings contained in the whole assembly?

blake_owen

I know you can select 1 drawing - click revision history and download the latest revision 1 by one (this is not a productive use of time so it is not viewed as a reasonable option)
I know you can select 1 drawing - click revision history - view release and click the download button for all the drawings in that release one by one, but this is not helpful unless all the drawing were released at the same time and could very easily get you downloading drawings that are not the latest revision because a later release contained a subset of the same drawings that released them to a new revision.

I assume I am missing something simple, because without this ability it is hard to see why you would use Oneshape's managed workflow rather than simply exporting the documents when ready and letting an outside PDM/PLM software or method control the latest released documents.  Or is there an app that controls the latest released drawings well enough to cause Oneshape's manage workflows to add value?  

(I would love a button on the left side of the screen that allows me to filter for the latest released items only (similar to the "Released Drafts" button) and then I could filter for drawings select all the drawings in the assembly and click export and get all the latest revisions of the drawings in one export)

Thanks again for your help!

This would be especially helpful when doing client work when the client does not have an onshape license but wants all of the latest exported 3D and 2D stored in their dropbox, google drive, etc.

How can I vote this up say a hunded times or so? Ideally with an option to combine them all into an appropriately named PDF (project, date, revision, etc.). Especially towards the end or at certain milestones, drawings don't appear to be dead yet: Some clients still request complete sets of 'deliverables', be it as part of the contract, at manufacturing clearances, design freezes and so on, and the effort required to create these specific sets is traditionally hugely underestimated by management. Luckily, mine don't ask no printed hardcopies any more, but printable drawings in open formats to put in their archives.

If you don't mind a nightly job.. please take a look at https://github.com/onshape-public/onshape-ts-client?tab=readme-ov-file#export-released-drawings-example

Nightly job, got it. ;0) It looks like this is doing as proposed, plus it appears applicable to keep an up to date selection of released geometry data for reference purposes like external DM, plus some more. Im not a programmer and would have to learn more about scripts in Onshape, before I can understand how it does this, though.  Anyway, it's good to know there is a way to get around doing this maually.
