At work we have been having problems with keeping our revisions in line with all of our files. Our drawing templates are set up so the most recent revision in the revision box on the title block links back to the custom properties. I have managed to find macros online and modify them to help with our problem. right now i have one that takes the revision off the drawing file, adds it to the end of the model file name, and saves it as a .STEP file. I want to do this with .igs and .stl files also but i cannot seem to get it to work. This is what i have for step files.

*I am fairly new to Macros, but i have a decent understanding of programing
