Sheet Metal Flat Patterns
You can create *.dxf files of sheet metal flat patterns from sheet metal
part documents without flattening the model or creating a drawing. This
helps to export Dxf files to other applications, such as punch press or
laser-cutter programming software. Use one of these methods:
Click File,
Save As and select Dxf
(*.dxf) for Save as type.
Right-click Flat-Pattern
in the FeatureManager design tree and select Export
to DXF/DWG.
The words Flat pattern are prepended
to the file name.
In the DXF
/ DWG Output PropertyManager, under Entities
To Export, clear Bend lines
to generate the Dxf without bend lines in it.
