INI file usage confusion

[meck]

Hi All,

I have been struggling with how the ini file and the following 2 lines of code should interact.

Dim sOut As String = "FLAT PATTERN DWG?AcadVersion=2018&IV_Bend=37634&IV_BendLayerColor=0;255;255&BendUpLayerLineType=37634&BendUpLayerColor=255;255;0&BendDownLayerLineType=37634&BendDownLayerColor=0;255;255&InvisibleLayers=IV_ARC_CENTERS;IV_TANGENT"
oCompDef.DataIO.WriteDataToFile(sOut, NewFileName)

If I save the flat pattern configuration from Inventor with layers, linetypes, colors, etc., to an ini file, and I use that ini file in my code, why do I need to specify the line properties in sOut variable? It seems like they are fighting each other depending on which user is running my code.

Can someone please explain or direct me to an explanation of how these are supposed to work together.

All I need is to have all bend line types be DASHED and all tangent line invisible.

Thanks
