Thank you, @WCrihfield, for your response. While your solution effectively addresses the flat pattern lengths and widths, I was seeking a solution that prioritizes the orientation of the DXF file to simplify the programming process. The goal is to minimize the complexity for the programming team while obtaining necessary flat pattern orientation for defining custom parameters.

Below are the logical steps for the solution I propose:

  1. Identify the occurrence of issues when two lines are parallel, while the remaining lines are not perpendicular to the parallel lines.

  2. Sketch on the flat pattern generated by Inventor.

  3. Project the geometry to obtain the four longest lines within the sketch.

  4. Check for parallelism among the four longest lines to determine the orientation of the flat pattern.

    Thank you
