iLogic Exporting all as .DXF issue

[Anonymous]

Hello all,

I have an issue with a iLogic code from: https://clintbrown.co.uk/2021/01/13/ilogic-export-flat-patterns-of-ipart-members-to-dxf/

The iLogic runs perfectly, and saves all instances as .DXF files separately. However, the parts are not saved with the correct geometries. I am not skilled enough to edit this code myself, so I was wondering if someone could help. 

Here is the problem: 

Notice all pats have the number "1", but in inventor the parts are clearly 1,2,3,4:

Can you please attach the iPart?

Yes, I have included the .ipt file to this reply. I should make that a habit thankyou!

I have checked the part and it seems like the emboss feature is causing the issue. I would recommend just delete/ Suppress that feature and run the rule. It will give the correct dxf.

I can understand your concern to give the number as emboss to recognize the dxf, however, you can able to detect that with the file name of dxf. I have given the rule in such a way that it will save with the member name so one can easily identify.

Unfortunately, outright deleting the emboss feature isn't an option. I need each panel to have a unique number for etching on a laser cutter. I tried cut extruding them, however they end up on the same layer, which also causes problems. Any suggestions? Maybe there is another feature I can use that still maintains separate layers, and the number exports differently, or would the solution require modification to the iLogic?

Yes, modification needs to be done on iLogic rule.

In this post, you may find to play with dxf layers. You may modify the code accordingly and achieve the result. I hope this could solve your issue.
