Export a flat layout in dxf automatically

Hello everyone, I work on inventor and I design belt conveyors. I use a lot of sheet metal parts. These parts are cut and bent by a subcontractor. So I have to send him the flattens in dxf so that he can make his cutting programs. To save time I would like to know if it is possible to automate the creation of flattening in dxf? Thank you in advance for your answers.

Hello

Hello. Your link seems to correspond well to what I expect. Unfortunately it is not compatible with my version of Inventor.

Hello

 

This is possible by doing a little VB programming.

If English is not a problem, the following link talks about exactly this problem, it wants to export the flattening of a sheet metal work in DXF:
