Hi all,

I picked up the attached macro for exporting a PDF and IGES of the current drawing sheet in a multisheet document.

By default it names the exports as the filename followed by the sheet number.

I want it to name both the PDF & IGES after either the active model configuration or the sheet name (I already have a working macro that renames all sheets by the active model config, so both results would be the same)

I've had a look at the method in API help but just can't get it to work. Any ideas? So I'm assuming where I have "TempFileName = swModel.GetPathName" I instead need "TempFileName = **the active config/sheet name** "

Also, is there a way to make this do the same for every sheet in the drawing without having to run the macro on every sheet individually?

Thanks in advance!

Oli
