The SIBL Batch Flat Pattern Extractor ribbon panel appears in the Add-Ins tab of an assembly document.

The program will scan all parts in the assembly document including all sub-assemblies to find sheet metal components and extract their flat pattern to the desired format.

The program will not extract the dxf or dwg file if there is no active flat pattern in the sheet metal part file. The program will not extract the dxf or dwg file if the parts or assembly is missing referenced files or if it needs to be migrated. The program cannot be interrupted once started. The program takes 0.5 to 1 second per dxf or dwg file. Refer to the progress bar located in the bottom left area of your Inventor status bar.
