I have a customer who exports sheet metal flat patterns (directly from the solid model) to DXF's to send to their shop for laser cutting and punching out holes. Their specific application requires that the outside cutting profile of the flat pattern gets put on a "LASER" layer while the inside cutting profile gets put on a "PUNCH" layer. I know the DXF mapping tool in SolidWorks currently allows for some things to be exported to certain layers of the DXF, but I don't see the ability to do this specifically.

They can currently do this with Inventor:

I saw a few Enhancement Requests for DXF export but they were very general. Is functionality like this being considered and would it be worth having the customer submit a more specific enhancement request asking for this functionality?

Thanks,

Matt
