Several comments on the API help:
1) The page of the DataIO Object says:
"Below are the names of these arguments and their default values"
But the table only includes "Argument", "Type" and "Note".
The table does NOT show the default values of the arguments.
2) "SimplifySplines" (Boolean)
What is the default value?? (see remark 1)
Is this setting PER layer of for the ENTIRE DXF?
3) "SplineTolerance" (Double)
What is the default value? (see remark 1)
Is this value in centimeters (the internal unit of Inventor)?
4) "AdvancedLegacyExport" (Boolean)
What does this?
5) "RebaseGeometry" (Boolean)
What does this?
6) Regarding Bend Angles
With an Inventor DWG, we can show the Bend Angle in the flatpattern (as a
note). Can this value be exported to a DXFas well? (For example, AutoPOL can
do this)
7) Regarding Layers and Colors
We can determine the name of the layer, but can we override the color of an
entity on that layer?
(For example, I want to put all the bendlines on Layer 0, but the bendlines
must be YELLOW (and not WHITE (the default color of the layer))
