Shorten Bend lines on DXF export

[Anonymous]

Hi there. I was wondering if it's possible to shorten Bend lines on Flat Pattern DXF export? As standard Inventor will export bend lines between two outer contours, but can you create a post process that will trim 5mm off of each end of the bend line? Best regards Yannick Nielsen

Hi Yannick,

If you believe this is a problem with Inventor creating a DXF from a flat pattern please post it on the Inventor Idea station:

The Inventor API does not have anything that would change a DXF file after it was created.

Thanks,

Wayne

Hello Yannick,

At the moment I am working to add this function to my app Publish Tool.

Adding properties as text is already possible in the DXF post-process.

Adding bend information near the bend lines in the DXF will be available too in the near future.

That sounds really cool - I will be looking forward to see that! 🙂
