export Naming Schemes for exported files

[bcd]

Currently - in the File Export Options there is an option to set a naming scheme per PDF pages - I'd like a similar option to available for the PDF file itself.

Also - it would be good to have the option to pre-define a number of such file-naming schemes so that a drawing can be exported to eg. Vendor, Client, Shop etc with appropriately titled filenames.

in the Publish command if the tick "Export Seperate PDF" in "File Export Options" then the naming system is applied to the PDF not  the sheet in the PDF. 

Similarly the naming scheme can be applied to DWG and other export file types.

 

Yes could be some improvements around saving naming schemes as it isn't the most obvious system and would benefit from being available across files or an office.

Yes, the missing piece is having those naming scheme options available for the multipage PDF as well.

Hello all,

 

Is not this option getting the job done?

 

 

Or you want the naming scheme to apply to the PDF file name instead, when you export a single PDF file?

Yes, exactly. Obviously the Sheet fields won't be available - but all others should be.

Thanks for confirming. I will add this to out wishlist database and we will consider it.

Thanks Nikolay,

One way I think of it is - it's important that the exported file name is both meaningful & unique, having the ability to curate what data automatically flows to the exported filename to achieve this seems very much on-brand.
