ProSheets - Batch export to PDF, DWG, IFC, etc.
Win64, EnglishGeneral Usage Instructions
The Plug-in allows users to bulk export views/sheets to PDF, DWG, DGN, DWF, NWC, IFC, and IMG formats (e.g., JPEG, PNG, TIFF, etc.) with custom file naming. Exported files can be saved either to a local folder or directly to a project folder in Autodesk® Forma®.
Click here to read the online documentation.
The Autodesk® Forma® export feature is included with the ProSheets Premium license and is also available during the trial period.
To enable ProSheets to connect to an Autodesk® Forma® project and export files directly to its project folders, the "DiRoots Connector for Autodesk® Forma®" app must first be installed and authorized for the relevant Autodesk® Forma® Hub.
A Hub Administrator must complete the following steps:
- Sign in to Autodesk® Forma® and open "Hub Admin" for the required Hub.
- Open "Apps".
- Select "DiRoots Connector for Autodesk® Forma®" from the App Gallery.
- Click "Install".
- Review the requested permissions, then click "Authorize and Install".
The "DiRoots Connector for Autodesk® Forma®" app must be installed separately for each Hub where ProSheets will be used. Once the "DiRoots Connector for Autodesk® Forma®" app is installed and authorized, ProSheets users can sign in to Autodesk® Forma® and export files directly to the required project folder.
Notes:
This add-in will automatically install the PDF24 and a custom 'diroots.prosheets' virtual printer. Uninstalling them will make ProSheets stop working.
