Macro to export flat patterns grouped by material & thickness into DXF with quantity annotation
Hello,
First of all, thank you for providing the macro to export all flat patterns from sheet metal parts/assemblies (reference here ).
I would like to request a new feature or a modified version of the macro with the following requirements:
Export grouping:
The exported DXF files should be organized into folders based on material and thickness (taken from cut-list properties).
Within each DXF, all sheet metal bodies or parts that share the same thickness should be arranged into one drawing frame (like a nesting layout).
Quantity annotation:
Under each flat pattern in the DXF, add a note showing the quantity (from cut-list or BOM).
File structure:
Instead of one DXF per body/part, the goal is to have one DXF file per material + thickness combination, containing all corresponding flat patterns.
This would help to optimize sheet usage and make fabrication drawings more organized.
Would it be possible to implement such a macro or provide guidance on how to adapt the existing one?
Thank you very much!
