How do I convert a part family to a dxf file?

Hello

I have a family of sheet metal parts. I want to get all the unfolded states in order to convert them to dxf for cutting. Doing it piece by piece is very long. Is there a way to get there faster?

Thank you.

Hello

Try seeing this macro that a colleague from Lynkoa shared.

export_dxf_famille_de_piece.swp

Thank you!! How exactly do you open your file? I've never used a macro.

Look via the macro toolbar and to activate it look here

Ok thanks for the advice. The macro does not work. Message: (Compile error: Project or library not found)

Which version of Solidworks are you on?

This one works, I just tested it. It saves the DXFs in the folder where the part is located by the name of the part and then by the name of the configuration.

Have you been able to test my macro?

Thank you for your help. The macro works well and answers my question. The "Export-Tole-DWG-DXF" program also works. Awesome!!
