get all drawings in an assy

[gmatelich]

Is there a convenient way to get a package of all the drawings associated with an assembly, preferably the .pdfs? It's valuable for pulling together a quote package for a new design.

This was fairly easy before moving to Model Manager, when all the .bdl files for the assy were stored in a single directory - AI Export 2D allowed pretty fine control of converting all the latest drawing files to PDF, as well as dxf, dwg, and/or iges.

Are you using Model Manager?
If yes, you may export from Model Manager starting at the parent masterdata all dependents. That includes sdexp, mi, relatedfiles (jpeg, pdf, etc.) for all releases.

Yes, Model Manager. If I right click on the top level masterdata, and select export, I get an .sdexp file, an .sd file, and a .jpg - those files directly associated with the top level masterdata. What I don't get are all the files recursively associated with the top level.

To get all masterdata dependents could be significant in terms of volume, response time, etc.
The only way I see is to design a customization to explore the tree hierarchy. You may parameter depth level, class type or class name traversal, load policy (latest revision, as stored, etc.), and my idea would be to push results in table edit, so the end user has a latest chance to filter, select elements to complete its duty.
Or you may have more precise request to simplify the customization.
