Samples
| Translate - Sheet Metal to DXF |
The sample code below writes a sheet metal file out as DXF. DWG is also supported. Use either the FLAT PATTERN DWG or FLAT PATTERN DXF formats.There are several optional arguments that can be specified as part of the format string. E.g. 'FLAT PATTERN DXF?TangentLayer=Tangents&SimplifySplines=True'). Below are the names of these arguments and relevant default values. The output will use these values unless you override them as part of the input string.
