Vb.Net - Export a sheet metal "Flat Pattern" dxf file without bend lines

isocam — Sat, 17 Aug 2024 08:22:50 GMT

Can anybody help?

I am using the following Vb.Net code to export a sheet metal flat pattern dxf file.

Dim oDataIO As DataIO

oDataIO = oDoc.ComponentDefinition.DataIO

Dim sOut As String

sOut = "FLAT PATTERN DWG?AcadVersion=2000&OuterProfileLayer=Outer"

oDataIO.WriteDataToFile(sOut, DxfFileName)

The code works ok.

However,

The dxf file that it creates also includes bend lines.

Is there anyway the above code can be changed that these bend lines are not created in the dxf file?

Many thanks in advance!

Darren

I'm not sure you can omit bend lines but you can hide them using InvisibleLayers option.
