I am interested in this macro 3D ContentCentral and I am attempting to modify it to do 2 additional things:

1) Use the partnumber added in the Configuration Properties under Bill of material options (part number displayed when used in a bill of materials) instead of the configuration name.

For example:

Part name is MWS, current config is 2418-WM, so current name looks like:

MWS.MWS-2418-WM.DXF

What I am trying to achieve is

99999980.DXF

2) I would like to add the abilities of options as found in another macro Export_DXF that would allow me to export the flat pattern with bendlines etc.etc.

In my first attempts I added in some lines from this example: http://help.solidworks.com/2012/English/api/sldworksapi/Get_List_Of_Configurations_Example_VB.htm

 Debug.Print "  ConfigName(" + Str(i) + ") = " + sConfigName
  Debug.Print "    UseAlternateNameInBOM = " + Str(swConfig.UseAlternateNameInBOM)
  Debug.Print "    AlternateName         = " + swConfig.alternateName
  Debug.Print "    Comment               = " + swConfig.comment
  Debug.Print ""

With no success. I am able to copy and paste and track down some data flow through a macro. but I find myself getting stuck on what I feel are simple things. I would greatly appreciate some help with this macro and some advice, would taking a SW macro course be a good idea with no VB background?

Thank you for your time,
