Include Sketch in DXF Export

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi all,

 

Is it possible to include Model Sketches when exporting a DXF from a drawing document?

 

Previously I could do a simple export :

 

ThisDoc.Document.SaveAs(DXFNAME , True)

 

Which used the options I'd set in the 'DXF File Export Options'

 

However, now I need to include some geometry from 'Sketch 2' within my DXF.

I've looked at the TranslatorAddIn Interface but can't see any options to include sketches in DXFs.

 

Does anybody know if this is possible?

 

I'm using Inventor 2011

 

Thanks

Tom

Hi Thomas,

 

(question was answered through ADN support before)

 

There is no options to automatically include the model sketches at the time of the export, you would need to include any sketch you want in the drawing before exporting it to dxf.

 

Take a look at "DrawingView.SetVisibility" method in the help files and let me know if you have further questions on that topic.

 

Regards,

Philippe.
