Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As IPartDoc
Dim FilePath As System.String
Dim ModelName As System.String
Dim Action As System.Integer
Dim ExportToSingleFile As System.Boolean
Dim Alignment As System.Double
Dim IsXDirFlipped As System.Boolean
Dim IsYDirFlipped As System.Boolean
Dim SheetMetalOptions As System.Integer
Dim ViewsCount As System.Integer
Dim Views As System.String
Dim value As System.Boolean
 
value = instance.IExportToDWG(FilePath, ModelName, Action, ExportToSingleFile, Alignment, IsXDirFlipped, IsYDirFlipped, SheetMetalOptions, ViewsCount, Views)
C# 
System.bool IExportToDWG( 
   System.string FilePath,
   System.string ModelName,
   System.int Action,
   System.bool ExportToSingleFile,
   ref System.double Alignment,
   System.bool IsXDirFlipped,
   System.bool IsYDirFlipped,
   System.int SheetMetalOptions,
   System.int ViewsCount,
   ref System.string Views
)
C++/CLI 
System.bool IExportToDWG( 
&   System.String^ FilePath,
&   System.String^ ModelName,
&   System.int Action,
&   System.bool ExportToSingleFile,
&   System.double% Alignment,
&   System.bool IsXDirFlipped,
&   System.bool IsYDirFlipped,
&   System.int SheetMetalOptions,
&   System.int ViewsCount,
&   System.String^% Views
) 

Parameters

FilePath
Full path to the exported DXF/DWG file
ModelName
Full path to the active part document
Action

1 - export sheet metal (valid only if active document contains sheet metal)

2 - export selected faces or loops

3 - export annotation views

ExportToSingleFile
True to save as one file; false to save in separate files
Alignment

Array of twelve double values that contain information related to output alignment:

Array[0], Array[1], Array[2] - XYZ coordinates of new origin

Array[3], Array[4], Array[5] - coordinates of new x direction vector

Array[6], Array[7], Array[8] - coordinates of new y direction vector

Array[9], Array[10], Array[11] - coordinates of the vector that is normal to the selected faces or loops

The last three elements of the array are valid only if Action = 2

IsXDirFlipped
True to flip the x direction; false otherwise
IsYDirFlipped
True to flip the y direction; false otherwise
SheetMetalOptions

Bitmask that contains sheet metal export options; valid only if Action = 1:

The bitmask is {7 6 5 4 3 2 1}, where each bit is either 0 or 1 as follows:

Bit #1: 1 to export geometry; 0 to not

Bit #2: 1 to include hidden edges; 0 to not

Bit #3: 1 to export bend lines; 0 to not

Bit #4: 1 to include sketches; 0 to not

Bit #5: 1 to merge coplanar faces; 0 to not

Bit #6: 1 to export library features; 0 to not

Bit #7: 1 to export forming tools; 0 to not

Example

If you want to export flat pattern geometry, bend lines, and sketches, then Bits 1, 3, and 4 are 1, the bitmask is 0001101, and you need to set SheetMetalOptions = 2^0 + 2^2 + 2^3 = 1 + 4 + 8 = 13.

ViewsCount
Count of annotation views to export; valid only if Action = 3
Views
Array of annotation view names to export; valid only if Action = 3

Return Value

True if export is successful; false otherwise
