Dim v As Inventor.DrawingView '= dwg.ActiveSheet.DrawingViews.Item(1)
v = ThisApplication.CommandManager.Pick(Inventor.selectionfilterenum.kDrawingViewFilter,"Select a Flat Pattern View")
Dim a As Inventor.PartDocument = v.ReferencedDocumentDescriptor.ReferencedDocument 'ThisDoc.Document


If a.SubType = "{9C464203-9BAE-11D3-8BAD-0060B0CE6BB4}" Then

	Dim s As Inventor.SheetMetalComponentDefinition = a.ComponentDefinition
	Dim f As Inventor.FlatPattern = s.FlatPattern

	Dim fl As Inventor.FlatPatternOrientation = f.FlatPatternOrientations.Item(1)
	If fl.FlipBaseFace = False Then
