FLAT PATTERN DXF EXPORT OPTIONS - Include IV_UNCONSUMED_SKETCHES

[Anonymous]

This one has bugged me for ages. I have a sheetmetal part I export the flat pattern for laser cutting. I have a sketch on the face with text (being the part number). But no matter how I do the sketch or configure the Flat Pattern DXF Export Options I cannot get the sketch/text to export.

I have seen workarounds to get text included with the FP but I'm not interested in workarounds. Autodesk, please get this function working.

I get it that "Text in the sketch is not exported", per the help. But why? I can see that silly fonts will create masses of geometry but leave it to the user as to whether they want this. Or force them to change it ti 'txt' font for simplicity sake.

This one is a good one.

I also think that Autodesk should include 2 new layers to this dialog box called:  TextUp and TextDown to isolate text to the other sketches.

Best Regards!
