Hi,

I'm working on a simple macro to save the active drawing sheet as pdf. I currently have it set to save using the sheet name as the file name. However, I would like to append the active sheet revision to the file name.

For example:

sheet name - '12345-01 DRAWING SHEET 1'

independent sheet revision - 'Z'

current file name - '12345-01 DRAWING SHEET 1.PDF'

target file name - '12345-01 DRAWING SHEET 1 revZ.PDF'

Here's my current file:
