Fusion 360 Script that exports sheetmetal flat pattern with bend lines to dxf

Hi,

I'm trying to find a quicker way to export sheetmetal flat patterns to dxf with bend lines.

I have found one script online which lets you select a sheet metal body's face and it automatically opens the flat pattern and exports it as a dxf which is great but I require the bend lines in my dxf so that they can be etched by the laser cutter. 

Can anyone please share a script that would achieve this?

Quicker than Fusion itself?

 

I can export this as dxf with a couple of buttons,

and depending on the Export Dialogue box selections, comes back as this. 

Turn off / Delete the layers you don't want. (Bend Extent?)

 

Might help....
