Print quick multiple refs of prt/asm's thumbnail images on single page(s)?

Hey all,... here's the question,.. (I did a quick search but came up
with nuthin)
You have a project with multiple prt/asm's and drawings (sheets) and
you want to print a quick review of the files in your project on a
small format.
Similar looking to thumbnail previews in explorer where the image of
the part and/or sheets are fairly visable (good enuf for review)?

And this could be in tiered order or asm structure for the asm's and/
or alpha numeric for drawings (sheets)?

Someone have some references,.. ideas,... or macro's (batch program, I
kind of remember someone doing this?)?

Personally, I want to quickly document the subdirectory and save it as
a PDF but the above asm order would be nice!

TIA..

Frick! Do I need PDMWorks to use the SolidWorks Task Scheduler?

Well, I don't have Office Pro,.. and the macro needs Task Schedular
which is part of PDMWorks.

And, I'm one of the unluckly bastards who bought FeatureWorks/Animator/
PhotoWorks,.. but has to pay FULL price for the upgrade to Office
Pro????

I refuse to have to play that game,... fricken SW Corp assholes and SW
VAR dickheads!!!!

Personally, I would call up your VAR and ask for some help getting a better
deal on Office Pro. You've probably got a couple of VAR choices in Southern
California if your VAR isn't cooperative. If that doesn't work, you might
even want to get in contact with your SW area representative. Only if that
doesn't work would I start calling them assholes and dickheads!

Jerry,

Been there, done that...

As you and everyone know, I have no use for VAR's (never have ever
used them) and every year, they take my money,... YET, when I have
asked them, (I've asked them 3 times since Pro was released and, 2X...

running 2006 here, task scheduler is a stand alone app, not tied to pdmw.

just guessing here ...
if the macro needs pdmw, then the logical assumption is the macro uses pdmw
functionality to perform the task. so if your files are not in a pdmw vault
you are most likely sol with the aforementioned macro.

Ken,

I don't see it in the SW2006 directories but I do see a empty /
swscheduler sub directory (I assume it's "swscheduler.exe")?
Do you have the path to the exe (swscheduler)?
