Auto Printing CAD Viewports without opening CAD??

[BoarsNest01]

We are trying to create an automated system for printing our updated CAD drawings. Basically anytime there would be a new "Save" to the drawing, we would like a program to run at night and print the updated drawing(s) (Even scheduling the print dates would be alright). We have everything setup to print from .dwg to .pdf. It works great to Publish the entire set (72 viewports) while in the drawings, but we are wondering if there is anything that would automatically do this while never opening CAD. If anyone has any ideas, or if they know who might be able to write a program to do this, please let me know.

Thanks!

You would at least need to have one session open and iterate thru your files and print to PDF. If you are doing this at night, you should not have to worry about using a license.

I would be willing to discuss this in more detail and would be able to provide this service for you.

Unless you used an application based on RealDWG or a clone
