With SolidWorks 2013 you can create dxf output from the Flat Pattern without setting up a drawing.

You can create *.dxf files of sheet metal flat patterns from sheet metal part documents without flattening the model or creating a drawing. This helps to export Dxf files to other applications, such as punch press or laser-cutter programming software.

Use one of these methods:

Click File > Save As and select Dxf (*.dxf) for Save as type.
Right-click Flat Pattern in the FeatureManager design tree and select Export to DXF/DWG.

Thanks. I used that method to export a DXF last night, it worked very well. Great tip!
