Hi Jason,

 

An Add-In is created and attached with this post. On successful loading Add-In, Ribbon called "Save As Dxf" will be created on activating "Flat Pattern" mode as shown below.

Unzip attached SaveAsDxf.zip and locate the same at "%appdata%\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins". After locating folder, "Autodesk.SaveAsDxf.Inventor.addin" and "SaveAsDxf.dll" files should available at "%appdata%\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\SaveAsDxf".

 

Initially, Add-In will be blocked. Go to "Tools" tab-> Click on "Add-Ins" button -> "Add-In Manager 2017" will be launched as shown below. In that, need to uncheck "Block" box and check "Load Automatically" and "Loaded/Unloaded" boxes.

Source code is also attached with this post for further enhancement.

 

Note: If "ApplicationPlugins" is not available at "%appdata%\Autodesk\", folder need to be created.

 

Please feel free to contact if there is any doubt.

 

If solves your problem, click on "Accept as solution" / give a "Kudo".

 

Thanks and regards,
