Export-Document

Exports the document in the specified format.

Export-Document -To <String> [-Format <String>] [-Options <Object>] [-Document <IDocument>] [-OnExport <Scriptblock>] [<CommonParameters>]

Bool: on success the cmdlet returns $true otherwise $false.
$result.Error ← The result has additionally an Error property which contains the Exception object
$result.Application ← Application is an implementation of IApplication
$result.Document ← Document is an implementation of IDocument

When passing invalid -Options the export will not fail, in that case the default settings will be used.
For -OnExport it is either possible to pass a function name or a scriptblock which then will be executed at runtime.

The parameters in scriptblock OnExport are: $export, $document (=IDocument), $application (=IApplication)

Depending on the application and the output format, the export object has different types.
Independent of the type, the $export object has always following base properties:

Exports: PDF, DWF / DWFx, DWG, DXF, IGES, STEP
Application: Inventor, InventorServer

Exports that are using the TranslatorAddin are working with a rich $export object, that can be manipulated in different ways.
Additional to the base properties, a TranslatorAddinExport has following properties:

Exports: DWG, DXF
Application: Inventor, InventorServer

Exports that are using the DataIO are the onces for exporting SheetMetal documents.
Additional to the base properties, a SheetMetalExport has following properties:

Exports: BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF
Application: Inventor, InventorServer

The $export object of exports that are working with SaveAs, has only the property SaveAsCopy to configure as an bool. By default this setting is set to True.

Exports: PDF, DWF / DWFx
Application: DWG TrueView

Exports that are using DWG TrueView as an application have in addtion to the base properties, a property DSDFile.

Exporting the last opened document to PDF with default options

Open-Document -LocalFile 'C:\Vault\AutoCad\Test.dwg'
Export-Document -format PDF -To C:\Temp\Test.pdf

Exporting with Options

Export-Document -format DXF -To C:\Temp\Test.dxf -Options C:\Temp\test.ini
Export-Document -format DXF -To C:\Temp\Test.dxf -Options @{'dpi resolution'='50000px'}

Exporting multiple documents

$openPartDocument = Open-Document -LocalFile 'C:\Vault\Designs\Padlock\External\Case Back.ipt'
$openAssemblyDocument = Open-Document -LocalFile 'C:\Vault\Designs\Padlock\Assemblies\Pad Lock.iam'
Export-Document -Document $openPartDocument.Document -format JPEG -To C:\Temp\Case Back.jpg
Export-Document -Document $openAssemblyDocument.Document -format BMP -To C:\Temp\Pad Lock.bmp

Validating Export result

$result = Export-Document -format PDF -To C:\Temp\Test.pdf
if(-not $result) {
 throw "Failed to export with error: ". $result.Error.Message
}

Using the export result

$result = Export-Document -format PDF -To C:\Temp\Test.pdf
if($result.Application.Name -eq 'Inventor') {
  $result.Document.Instance ......
}

Exporting with even more possibilities in OnExport scriptBlock

Export-Document -format PDF -To C:\Temp\Test.pdf -Options C:\Temp\PDF.ini -onExport {
   param($export)
     $export.Options['All_Color_AS_Black']='1'
     $export.Options.Remove('Password_protect')
     $export.Options.Remove('Password')
   ....
}

Doing special stuff in the OnExport, by using the Inventor API

Open-Document -LocalFile 'C:\Vault\Designs\Padlock\Assemblies\Pad Lock.iam'
$result = Export-Document -Format DWF -To C:\Temp\Test.dwf -Options -onExport {
   param($export)
   $document = $export.SourceDocument
   $export.Application.Instance.Visible=$true
   if($document.Instance.DocumentType -eq [Inventor.DocumentTypeEnum]::kAssemblyDocumentObject ) {
       $export.Options['Design_Views'] = ...
   }
}

Doing special stuff in the OnExport, by manipulating the DSD for TrueView

Open-Document -LocalFile 'C:\Vault\Designs\Acad 2015\ACADE Tutorial\DEMO02.DWG'
Export-Document -Format PDF -To C:\Temp\DEMO02.DWG.pdf -OnExport {
    param($export)
    $export.DsdFile.PublishExportOptions.Type=5
}
