I don´t know about sheetmetal, but I tried to export all parts of a regular assembly to dxf with my script Trailmaker and has worked.
This is how did it:
1 - Created a template for the drawing,
2 - Erased all objects from memory
3 - Opened the assembly
4 - Closed the assembly (this way I get all parts of the asm into session)
5 - Call the trail mapkey (Trailmaker script)
6 - Filter just prt´s in session
7 - Choose trail Prt2Dxf.txt ( a trailfile that creates a drawing with the same name and exports as dxf)
8 - Wait and see...
This will create dxf´s with the same name as the prt´s. If you already have any drw´s created with the same name the script won´t work.
Hope it helps
Jose
