Summary: What I would really like to see is an option to handle the DXF flats just like the option to automatically create DWF/DWFx files to a specified location (outside of Vault). The files would be wrote over top of the old if changes were made. This would work great because anyone in the company could retrieve the latest flat as they currently do with the DWF files.

How Used: This way, once the assembly has been checked into the Vault, there would be a library of the flat patterns along with the flat drawings. This would really be a huge time saver.

Either option would not store the files in Vault. The whole idea for us is to have them available to other groups within the company.

We would also need the ability to turn on or off the layers on export as with the Save As.. option already available in Inventor.
