Good Day
i'm very new to Inventor customizing. I've created an Add-in for inventor with Visual Studio 2015 and VB.net. I want to export the flatpatter or selected face by buttons in my PartRibbon Panel.
I've created the buttons.
And added afunction tothe first button to export the flat pattern.(It works fine)
Private Sub FlatPatternExport_OnExecute() Handles FlatPatternExport.OnExecute
Dim oDoc As PartDocument = m_inventorApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim oDataIO As DataIO = oDoc.ComponentDefinition.DataIO
oDataIO.WriteDataToFile("FLAT PATTERN DWG?AcadVersion=2000&OuterProfileLayer=IV_OUTER_PROFILE",_ m_inventorApplication.ActiveDocument.FullFileName & ".dwg")
End Sub
Question 1
Now i want to add a function to the other button, when clicked it will export the selected face to dwg in the same manner as above?But i am clueless, searched all over the internet.
This is what i have
Private Sub SelectedFaceExport_OnExecute() Handles SelectedFaceExport.OnExecute
Dim oDoc As PartDocument = m_inventorApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim oDataIO As DataIO = oDoc.ComponentDefinition.DataIO
oDataIO.WriteDataToFile("Face Loops DWG?AcadVersion=2000&OuterProfileLayer=IV_OUTER_PROFILE", m_inventorApplication.ActiveDocument.FullFileName & ".dwg")Question 2
How do i only export the outer profile layer and bend line layer. When i open the DWG in AutoCAD i have to put off the layers i don't want.
Thanks

Hi
I've been wanting to export a face as dxf via ILogic for a while but all the information I can find seems incomplete.
Could you please post the full working code for me to use?
And does your code require a button, or can it be run as an external rule?
