Thank you for the detailed explanation. Our situation is actually more straightforward:

  1. In our sheet metal parts, the 'Primary' model state always contains the flat pattern representing the raw plate for CNC cutting.
  2. In the assembly, sheet metal parts are shown in their finished state (after cutting, drilling, and milling) a different model state.
  3. When our iLogic rule traverses the assembly, we need to export the flat pattern to a DWG file from the 'Primary' model state of each sheet metal part, not the currently active model state that the part is in the assembly. I'd like to clarify that we don't need to make any changes to the sheet metal parts themselves. The 'Primary' model state with the desired flat pattern already exists in each part. We simply need a way to access and export this specific model state's flat pattern, even when a different state is active in the assembly. Our goal is to retrieve existing information from a non-active model state, not to modify the parts or create new data.

I hope this helps make it clearer and easier to find a solution.
