Stumbled upon this thread…
For anyone who is interested:
I altered @Konrad_K_Sobon Konrad script a bit and was able to print and rename in the same run. So when i press run it starts plotting my sheets and when that’s done it renames them according to the parameters i have entered.
I use a wait function based on the amount of sheets I plot, not an ideal solution but it works.
Going to replace the wait function by a file counter so Dynamo waits with plotting the next file until the former was actually saved in the folder.
Code looks like this now:
