Exporting Past Drawing Releases

Brian_HensleyBrian_Hensley Member Posts: 2

After I create a release of a drawing I typically will want to export a PDF. However when I right click on the drawing tab and select ‘Export’ I can only export the current version. It would be help to have drop down menu in this pop up to select previous Releases to export. This saves a user from needing to open the previous release and then export or set up a script as not every drawing needs to have a PDF when it’s released.

    You can do it pretty easily as seen in this little gifs

    Or if you already have the drawing open, you can pick "Revision history" (two down from "Export") and then export directly from there.

    EDIT: never mind, that's what's shown at the bottom by @shawn_crocker !

    But there is another way, if you use the "list view" (or "structure view") when browsing the folder it only shows released items so you can export directly from there:
