iLogic code to export ALL iParts as DXF with Different Layers

Hi all,

 

With the help of some forum searching and other posts I've made, I found this link: https://clintbrown.co.uk/2021/01/13/ilogic-export-flat-patterns-of-ipart-members-to-dxf/ to almost solve my problem. The iLogic code in that link exports all flat patterns as a .DXF which is great, but I would like to have it such that the geometry and sketches get exported in different layers for cutting and marking respectively. I know its possible in SolidWorks, but it isn't automated, meaning id have to go 1 by 1 for 400+ parts a day... 

 

In short, I am looking for assistance in modifying or adding onto this code to export all flat patters, with geometry and sketches on different layers. Thank you in advance!

For exporting geometry on a different layer you dont need to add extra code. But you need to add attributes to add to the geometry that you want exported on a other layer. That cant be done with standard Inventor tools. But it can be done with an iLogic rule or an addin. I wrote a blog post about that and can be found here
