Is anyone using the Matprops Publish add-in to export Inventor flat patterns to dxf or dwg? It appears this would work well for us but there are occasions where we will modify the exported dwg file and I don't want that file to be written over when the next mass dwg export takes place. Is there a way to ignore existing files?
Thanks in advance.
You need an option to keep the files from an earlier export?
As programmer of this tool I can help of course.
please describe your workflow.

Hello @w.pepping, we re-use many components between designs and on occasion will have to make a manual change to the exported dwg file (we use dwg files to use on our plasma cut tables which use ProNest). I don't want these manual changes overwritten. So, if a file exists already in the assigned location, I don't want it to be overwritten.
I imagine a global selection button to allow these files to be over written or ignored. Does that make sense?
Great tool, thanks for the response!
