About Me

Curtis Waguespack
I've used Inventor daily, “in the
trenches” of a real world
design environment. I've also
used AutoCAD and Inventor to
design a wide range of manufactured
products in the past. In addition to this real
world experience I’ve written and co
written multiple editions of the Mastering
For instance, you are working on a file called 47-912.idw with the Revision Number iProperty set to 3, Autodesk Inventor series and have taught
located in: Inventor to professionals in the classroom.
I hope to share some of the useful tips and

tricks I've learned in the past and stumble
and you want to have a PDF saved out as such: across in the future on this blog.

Solution:
You can use the following iLogic rule to accomplish this:
Mastering Autodesk Inventor
'------start of iLogic------- Series Books
oPath = ThisDoc.Path
oFileName = ThisDoc.FileName(False) 'without extension
oRevNum = iProperties.Value("Project", "Revision Number")
oPDFAddIn = ThisApplication.ApplicationAddIns.ItemById _
("{0AC6FD96-2F4D-42CE-8BE0-8AEA580399E4}")
oDocument = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
oContext = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateTranslationContext
oContext.Type = IOMechanismEnum.kFileBrowseIOMechanism
oOptions = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateNameValueMap
oDataMedium = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateDataMedium

If oPDFAddIn.HasSaveCopyAsOptions(oDataMedium, oContext, oOptions) Then

oOptions.Value("All_Color_AS_Black") = 1
oOptions.Value("Remove_Line_Weights") = 1
oOptions.Value("Vector_Resolution") = 400
oOptions.Value("Sheet_Range") = Inventor.PrintRangeEnum.kPrintAllSheets
