iLogic export flat pattern to dxf and add some text

[b.graaf]

I have made some iLogic code to export flat patterns to a dxf file. I have used this peace of code: _dataIO.WriteDataToFile(......) Is it possible to add some text to this dxf file?

Hi @b.graaf,

As far as I am aware, this is not possible in Inventor as standard.

There is however the option of an add-in, try this here: Sheet Metal DXF Exporter

Personally, I ended up creating a VBA Macro in Inventor that writes script for AutoCAD to deal with post processing of dxf's and dwg's. Mainly because nothing out there suited my needs, and because I could 😉

@b.graaf,

Unfortunately, Inventor API does not support directly to export dxf along with text. Please log this wish list at idea station using below link.

Sheet Metal DXF Exporter - May be using AutoCAD API as well to include text into dxf file.
