Creating multiple PDF files in Allegro with Script

$

Hello all,

 

I am trying to find a way to create multiple PDF files with single script. (Separate files)

 

I would like to select few of the required layers I have setup to be printed through Allegro and use PDF writer to create these files.

 

For now, I have made a script so that Acrobat would open up ready to print, but I cannot get it to name it and proceed to the next film. 

 

setwindow pcb

trapsize 1104

generaledit

setwindow form.vf_vis

FORM vf_vis colorview_list Film: RENAME_BOT 

setwindow pcb

plot setup 

setwindow form.fpfileplotsetup

FORM fpfileplotsetup done  

setwindow pcb

generaledit 

plot setup 

setwindow form.fpfileplotsetup

FORM fpfileplotsetup done  

setwindow pcb

generaledit 

plotwint initialize "Adobe PDF"

plotwint orientation 2

plotwint papername "Tabloid"

plotwint scale 100

plotwint copies 1

plotwint defaultsource 15

plotwint printquality 1200

plotwint color 2

plotwint execute 

 

I would like to name it the same file name as RENAME_BOT since "RENAME" will be the part number and I plan on switching it on the script file by find/replace before running the script. 

 

I have added other layer name such as RENAME_TOP with same information on the file. Everything seems to work except I have to rename these files manually which I would like to automate.

 

Please let me know if anyone can help. 

 

Thank you in advance
