Flat Pattern Export includes sketch segments from the sheet format


Symptoms

When exporting flat patterns via Export Flat Pattern module, output DWG/DXF files include the sketch segments from the sheet format

Reason

CAD+ Toolset uses the default drawing template to produce the DXF/DWG file. The sheet format is removed from the file; however, if the template contains sketch segments on the sheet itself (not the sheet format), those will be included in the output

Solution

Issue can be fixed by changing the default drawing template in SOLIDWORKS.

Alternatively, create an empty drawing template (without sketch segments and sheet format) and save to %localappdata%\Xarial\CADPlusToolset\Modules\flat-pattern-default-template.drwdot. CAD+ Toolset will check if this file exists, and use it instead of the default template
