solidworks, Help with "Save As"

1. PLEASE HELP AGAIN: need to export informations about saved UCS

2. Batch printing saved views - Please help

We recently received some autocad 2000 files from a sister company
that contain anywhere from 10 - 30 saved views. (they used autocad as
if it were a word processor).
We have autocad 2004.
Is there an easy way to print all the saved views as a batch. I don't
want to print each page individually. We have limited autocad
experience, so I am stressing the easy part.
I would ultimately prefer to plot to a .pdf format with all the pages
in one document. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Joe

4. help: 'failed to save document' warning

Hi,

SW2006 SP4 - I'm getting a 'failed to save document' warning when I try and 
save a part. It was previously referenced  in an assembly, which I closed in 
order to save it as another part without messing with the references. Now I 
canr save the part at all.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Lee

6. Help with a Save as PDF Macro

Hi all,

I am trying to program macro to save my current drawing as a PDF
file.   I found a macro on the net that does this and it works great.
However, I wanted to modify it to add the drawing revision to the file
name.  I know others have attempted the same thing, but I can't seem
to get the code to run.

I would appreciate it if some who knows better could review the code
and find my mistake.  The trouble seems to be in the way I am trying
to get the value for the revision parameter from the drawing.   Iv'e
tried lots of aproaches, but it seems I am not getting the correct
object.

Much appreciated.

8. save as parasolid only saves what's shown SW2004

Just for reference, when you save as parasolid it is now back to saving only
what is visible (whereas in SW2003 it saved all the hidden surfaces etc as
well), which I'm personally thankful for as it was a pain in the jacks to
have to select a particular body before 'exporting'  - and in the begining
2003 caught me out with toolmakers who couldn't understand what all the
extra surfaces were for, which I thought were hidden and therefore not
exported.

Just thought you might like to know

On a similar note, would anyone else like to see the 'export' functions
under an 'export' title? I find it really annoying when you make the mistake
of not selecting the save-as type and you end up messing with your assembly
references. Having 'export' would totally solve this. I've put in an
enhancement request a couple of times for this, but nothing as changed.
