"Advanced File Output" is a SolidWorks VBA macro that automates the export of a drawing and its referenced model to multiple industry-standard file formats in a single operation. When executed, it reads custom properties (Part Number, Description, and optionally Revision) from the part or assembly referenced in the active drawing, constructs standardized filenames from these properties, and exports the drawing to DWG, PDF, and DXF formats while simultaneously exporting the referenced 3D model to STEP format. The macro streamlines what would otherwise be a repetitive manual process of saving multiple file types with consistent naming conventions. It handles filename sanitization to remove illegal characters, manages DXF export preferences (setting specific version and multi-sheet options then restoring previous settings), checks for existing files to prevent accidental overwrites, and provides user feedback on the success or failure of each export operation. This is particularly useful in engineering workflows where drawings and 3D models need to be distributed to vendors, customers, or other CAD systems in standardized formats with traceable part identification in the filenames.
