We have been using SolidWorks since SW 99. We still have a large
number of files in our legacy format, Cadkey (.PRT). Our current plans
are to start using PDF files as our "master" drawing for manufacturing.
While there are a number of options to do this with SolidWorks (custom
macro, Bluebeam, PAC4SWX, etc), im trying to find the best way to do
this for our Cadkey files.

Anyone know a way to batch convert (or batch print) files in Cadkey?

Recommended for you

Use the SolidWorks Task Scheduler[/b[ if you have it. It has an "import" function & can open all files in a folder.

Also, investigate the use of eDrawings for the ""master" drawing for manufacturing" It can also be used to view the solids without the need for the solids files. You get the best of both worlds.
