Consolidate flat pattern of multiple parts from an assembly

[Anonymous]

I have an assembly with 500 parts and around 200 parts are sheet metal.

1) The procedure i follow is create a drawing file for each part and place the flat pattern developed view in the drawing for each part.(Repeated 200 times)

2) Then I create a development.drw and copy paste this view from all the drawings one by one.( Repeat task 200 times open and copy)

3) Next I copy this drawing into autocad and do the nesting for laser cutting.

I want to get all the falt patterns from these parts in one place with their part numbers without doing the repetitive task.

Can anyone provide the best and the fastest solution for this? I am using Inventor 2011. I know it can be done using vba but i am unable to write a code. Please Help !

Thanks,

Sid

Hi, bro, there are 2 values in the parameters of the file:DXF_test.ini.
CUSTOMIZE FILE=C:\Vault\Templates\Inventor Design Data\DWG-DXF\FlatPattern.xml
LINE TYPE FILE=C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor 2013\COMPATIBILITY\Support\invISO.lin
Can you supply the 2 files:DWG-DXF\FlatPattern.xml and invISO.lin?
Thanks!
