I have a lot of sheet metal parts to get made and I keep saving out my IDW as a DWG and creating a DXF after I clean up the profile in ACAD, isn't there a faster way to get this done?
I get this question a lot. The answer is yes there is. If you are using Inventor to design your sheet metal parts you can use the flat pattern to generate a cleaned up dxf with layer mapping.
Check out this quick video on how its done.
Keep crankin' out the parts!

I'd love to see the video but, I click on the link, the screen cast page opens but, nothing happens. Any suggestions?
screencast.com our video streaming tool just made some upgrades....that might be the issue i will check into it
Is it possible that you have neglected to click on the play (triangular) button?
