Hi everyone,
Quick question, would anyone be able to make sure that when exporting my dxf of sheet metal parts with batchconverter of the mycadtool, I can have my bending lines with different colors using a model like on SolidWorks?
I don't think it's possible, neither in batch converter nor in SW on a sheet metal part without going through an MEP.
Batchconverter only uses the save as, batch function:
Out of no layers, colors or other options available.
In the SW2020 options nothing found either.

Thank you for your answer, for my part I am on SW 2023, it is possible for me to have a layer with different colors on my DXF export, attached is an example

Hello;
Be careful not to confuse the 3D(SLDPRT)->2D(DXF/DWG) conversion with the MEP2D(SLDDRW) → 2D(DXF/DWG) conversion.
In the first case, BatchConverter doesn't care about layers.
In the second case, it depends on the Solidworks settings, if you have requested the systematic use of layer projections, Batchconverter must keep these settings
Kind regards...
Personal note:
I think it's a shame to put everything on the " 0 " layer after the projection:
it is also possible that this is what prevents the conversion of your lines in 3D->dxf mode... but I doubt it.

Good note, I'm going to create a different layer for the fold lines.
After some testing, I noticed that batchconverter overwrote the layer I had created (with color fold lines) with a basic layer with just extra fold lines, but which are not differentiable.
