DXF edit by iLogic

Hi all,

I have an iLogic code that can export dxf of flat pattern from sheetmetal part. 

Now I need to add external dimensions and write number of pieces automatically to this dxf.

Is there any way to do it? 

 

Thanks for any advice.

 

My code is here:

 

	Dim FilePath As String
	FilePath = ThisDoc.Path & "\"																		
	
    If ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition.HasFlatPattern = False Then					
       ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition.Unfold										
    Else
	   ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition.FlatPattern.Edit								
    End If

    Dim fSett As String
    fSett = "FLAT PATTERN DXF?AcadVersion=2000&InvisibleLayers=IV_UNCONSUMEND_SKETCHES;IV_ALTREP_BACK;IV_ALTREP_FRONT;IV_ARC_CENTERS;IV_TOOL_CENTER_DOWN;IV_TOOL_CENTER;IV_ARC_CENTERS;IV_TANGENT;IV_BEND;IV_BEND_DOWN&SplineTolerance Double 0.01&MergeProfilesIntoPolyline"
	
    Dim fSname As String
    fSname = FilePath & ThisDoc.FileName(False) & ".dxf"												
	  
ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition.FlatPattern.ExitEdit
