Saving a DWG copy of an IDW drawing named by revision number.

With the following iLogic macro you can save a copy of your Inventor IDW drawing to a DWG-format file named by the current revision number as set in iProperties - e.g. MyPart-A.dwg:

altName = "-" & iProperties.Value("Project","Revision Number") & ".dwg"  
ThisDoc.Document.SaveAs(ThisDoc.PathAndFileName(False) & altName,True)  
MessageBox.Show(ThisDoc.FileName(False) & altName & " saved!!" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & ThisDoc.Path , "Save As")
