Assem2dxf.v3 SolidWorks Macro

Overview

This SolidWorks macro, Assem2dxf.v3, automates the process of exporting all sheet metal flat patterns from an assembly to DXF format. It creates a new folder named DXF in the assembly's root folder and saves each flat pattern as a separate DXF file.

Features

  • Export sheet metal flat patterns.
  • Include hidden edges and bend lines in DXF export.
  • Handle merged coplanar faces and include library features and forming tools.

Usage

  • See the ReadMe HTMl file first for the full version. TLDR;
  1. Open the assembly or part document in SolidWorks.
  2. Run the Assem2dxf.v3 macro.
  3. All sheet metal flat patterns will be exported to a new DXF folder in the assembly's root directory.
