marking sheet metal parts with file name

[heyyoshinkoredo]

Bye to all,

I prepare with inventor the development plans of sheet metal components that then punch/cut with a laser machine and piego.
Since I work with very many distinct pieces and also very similar pieces dimensionally, I need to be able to identify everything that is produced through a marking.

the marking is done directly by the punching machine or laser, based on a text that must be found in the dxf file that sends to the postprocessor that processes cn files for cutting machines.

I generate the various dxf files starting from a parametric ipart managed by an excel file.

combining the features of the various columns of the excel file with both the filename and the namepart (they are equal). es: customerxy_flangia_inx_d300_f5-5x6......

I would like to find an automatic way to write in the flat pattern of the sheet metal part the name of the file (at a distance prefixed from the edge of the part). this text must also be exported to the dxf file obtained with the command "export face as..."

I hope to have explained, thank you in advance for the help.

hello, you could create a script in autocad. in the sense
work with inventor, batch extract the dxf you need.
open all dxf where you need to insert the text
Launch the script and for each file recovers the prefixed text (filename) and writes it in every single file , saves it, closes it and passes it to the next. . .
