    Export Every Time

    Is there a way to export a .dxf file every time I save a .dwg (we use .dwg instead of .idw) without hitting "save copy as" in inventor 2010?

    We need to export .dxf for several of our vendors - some of them in Autocad 2004 format.

    We make windows for large ships, so when I make a drawing package, there can be 30+ windows, each with a general arrangement, detail and glass drawing. Exporting individuals becomes a pain.

    In case anyone is looking for the answer - there is a way to do this with basic vault - every time you check it in, you can export a .dwf (which suits our purpose).
