hi,

You can try the next rule. I did have some problem with getting the qty. but the rest should work.

Sub main()

    Dim doc As AssemblyDocument = ThisDoc.Document
    For Each oDoc As Document In doc.AllReferencedDocuments
        If (oDoc.SubType <> "{9C464203-9BAE-11D3-8BAD-0060B0CE6BB4}") Then Continue For

        Dim fileName As String = getFileName(oDoc)

        Dim oCompDef As SheetMetalComponentDefinition = oDoc.ComponentDefinition
        If oCompDef.HasFlatPattern = False Then
            oCompDef.Unfold()
        Else
            oCompDef.FlatPattern.Edit()
        End If
		
        Dim sOut As String = "FLAT PATTERN DXF?AcadVersion=2000&BendUpLayerColor=0;0;255&BendDownLayerColor=0;0;255&InvisibleLayers=IV_TANGENT"
        oCompDef.DataIO.WriteDataToFile(sOut, fileName)
		oCompDef.FlatPattern.ExitEdit()
    Next
End Sub

Private Function getFileName(oDoc As PartDocument) As String
    Dim fileNameDoc = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(oDoc.FullFileName)
    Dim partNumber = iProperties.Value(fileNameDoc, "Project", "Part Number")
	Dim thickness As Double = Parameter("flatpattern.ipt", "Thickness")
	thickness = Math.Round(thickness * 10)
    Dim newFileName As String = String.Format("{0}_{1}",partNumber, thickness)
    Return IO.Path.Combine("c:\temp\", newFileName)
End Function

I guessit was to later yesterday. there i found the bug and fixed it. Check the code below. An other thing that i forgot to mention. i multiply the thickness by 10. I did that because its better if you dont use points in file names. For example if your part would be 1.5mm thick you would get a file name like "PartNumber_1.5.dxf". this code will translate that to "PartNumber_15.dxf"

Sub main()

    Dim doc As AssemblyDocument = ThisDoc.Document
    For Each oDoc As Document In doc.AllReferencedDocuments
        If (oDoc.SubType <> "{9C464203-9BAE-11D3-8BAD-0060B0CE6BB4}") Then Continue For

        Dim fileName As String = getFileName(oDoc)

        Dim oCompDef As SheetMetalComponentDefinition = oDoc.ComponentDefinition
        If oCompDef.HasFlatPattern = False Then
            oCompDef.Unfold()
        Else
            oCompDef.FlatPattern.Edit()
        End If
		
        Dim sOut As String = "FLAT PATTERN DXF?AcadVersion=2000&BendUpLayerColor=0;0;255&BendDownLayerColor=0;0;255&InvisibleLayers=IV_TANGENT"
        oCompDef.DataIO.WriteDataToFile(sOut, fileName)
	oCompDef.FlatPattern.ExitEdit()
    Next
End Sub

Private Function getFileName(oDoc As PartDocument) As String
    Dim fileNameDoc = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(oDoc.FullFileName)
    Dim partNumber = iProperties.Value(fileNameDoc, "Project", "Part Number")
    Dim thickness As Double = Parameter(fileNameDoc, "Thickness")
    thickness = Math.Round(thickness * 10)
    Dim newFileName As String = String.Format("{0}_{1}",partNumber, thickness)
    Return IO.Path.Combine("c:\temp\", newFileName)
End Function

That message doesn't say much. So that does not help. but i added a try/catch block. this will show the file that is creating the problem. maybe it helps. try this rule.

Sub main()
    Dim doc As AssemblyDocument = ThisDoc.Document
    For Each oDoc As Document In doc.AllReferencedDocuments
        If (oDoc.SubType <> "{9C464203-9BAE-11D3-8BAD-0060B0CE6BB4}") Then Continue For
		
		Try
			Dim fileName As String = getFileName(oDoc)

	        Dim oCompDef As SheetMetalComponentDefinition = oDoc.ComponentDefinition
	        If oCompDef.HasFlatPattern = False Then
	            oCompDef.Unfold()
	        Else
	            oCompDef.FlatPattern.Edit()
	        End If
			
	        Dim sOut As String = "FLAT PATTERN DXF?AcadVersion=2000&BendUpLayerColor=0;0;255&BendDownLayerColor=0;0;255&InvisibleLayers=IV_TANGENT"
	        oCompDef.DataIO.WriteDataToFile(sOut, fileName)
			oCompDef.FlatPattern.ExitEdit()
        Catch ex As Exception
			MsgBox("Exception was thrown while exporting file: " & oDoc.FullDocumentName )
        End Try
    Next
End Sub

Private Function getFileName(oDoc As PartDocument) As String
    Dim fileNameDoc = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(oDoc.FullFileName)
    Dim partNumber = iProperties.Value(fileNameDoc, "Project", "Part Number")
    Dim thickness As Double = Parameter(fileNameDoc, "Thickness")
    thickness = Math.Round(thickness * 10)
    Dim newFileName As String = String.Format("{0}_{1}",partNumber, thickness)
    Return IO.Path.Combine("c:\temp\", newFileName)
End Function
