Publisher: Use Layout ID as exported filename

I have layouts in Archicad with standardized numbers as their Layout ID, and free-text descriptions as their Layout Name.

I would like to keep the names, since they make it much easier to navigate and identify layouts in the project. However, when publishing/exporting them as DWG or PDF, I would like the filename to contain only the Layout ID, not the Layout Name.

For example:

Layout ID: A-01-001
Layout Name: Ground Floor Plan – Existing
Desired filename: A-01-001.pdf / A-01-001.dwg

Is there a way to configure Publisher to use only the Layout ID as the exported filename?

Hi,

You can use autotext to rename them: https://support.graphisoft.com/hc/en-us/articles/31953101551377-Using-the-Rename-Items-function-in-A...

Thanks! Unfortunately, the link doesn't work for me?

Weird. I checked both from a private window and mobile and for me it worked.

You can maybe try and restart the browser? or just google the title of the article:
