 # ExportDXF
 
-A Windows desktop application that automates exporting flat pattern DXF files from SolidWorks drawings, assemblies, and parts. Built for sheet metal fabrication workflows, it extracts BOM data, generates DXF flat patterns with etch/bend line markings, exports drawing PDFs, and uploads everything to a CutFab API for downstream cut programming.
+A Windows desktop application that automates exporting flat pattern DXF files from SolidWorks drawings, assemblies, and parts. Built for sheet metal fabrication workflows, it extracts BOM data, generates DXF flat patterns with etch/bend line markings, and exports everything to a local folder with an Excel workbook for downstream tools like [OpenNest](https://github.com/ajisaacs/OpenNest).
 
 ## Features
 
 - **Batch DXF export** from SolidWorks drawings, assemblies, or individual parts
 - **Flat pattern generation** with automatic sheet metal detection
-- **Etch line insertion** on bend-up lines for fabrication reference (via EtchBendLines library)
+- **Etch line insertion** on bend-up lines for fabrication reference (via EtchBendLines/ACadSharp)
 - **PDF export** of SolidWorks drawings
-- **CutFab API integration** -- uploads DXFs, PDFs, and BOM data with sheet metal properties (thickness, K-factor, bend radius, material)
+- **Excel BOM output** -- generates an xlsx workbook with a BOM sheet (direct copy of the SolidWorks BOM table) and a Cut Templates sheet (DXF filenames, thicknesses, K-factors, bend radii, content hashes)
+- **Revision tracking** -- content hashing detects unchanged DXFs across re-exports; changed files get revision suffixes (e.g., `PT03 Rev2.dxf`)
+- **Configurable filename template** -- format like `4321 A01 PT{item_no:2}` with placeholders for item number, part name, configuration, and material
+- **Pluggable drawing info extraction** -- auto-fills the filename template from the document name; extensible via `IDrawingInfoExtractor`
 - **View flip control** with automatic, manual, and prefer-up strategies
-- **Drawing selection UI** that connects to SolidWorks and displays the active document
+- **Active document tracking** -- connects to SolidWorks and updates the UI when the active document changes
-- **BOM extraction** from drawing BOM tables or assembly component trees
+- **Per-export and app-level logging** to plain text log files
 
 ## Requirements
 
 - Windows 10/11
-- .NET Framework 4.8
+- .NET 8.0
 - SolidWorks (installed and licensed)
-- CutFab API server (default: `http://localhost:7027`)
 
 ## Solution Structure
 
 ```
 ExportDXF.sln
   ExportDXF/          Main WinForms application
-  EtchBendLines/      Library for adding etch lines to DXF files (git submodule)
+  EtchBendLines/      Library for adding etch lines to DXF files (git submodule, uses ACadSharp)
-    netDxf/           DXF file read/write library
 ```

 ## How It Works
 
-1. **Startup** -- Connects to a running SolidWorks instance (or launches one). Shows a drawing selection form that pulls equipment/drawing data from the CutFab API and displays the active SolidWorks document.
+1. **Startup** -- Connects to a running SolidWorks instance (or launches one). Auto-fills the filename template from the active document name using pluggable extractors.
 
 2. **Export** -- Based on the active document type:
-   - **Drawing**: Extracts BOM items from BOM tables, exports the drawing as PDF, then iterates through each component to generate flat pattern DXFs.
+   - **Drawing**: Copies the raw BOM table to the Excel BOM sheet, exports the drawing as PDF, then generates flat pattern DXFs for each sheet metal component.
    - **Assembly**: Extracts components from the assembly tree and generates flat pattern DXFs for each sheet metal part.
    - **Part**: Generates a single flat pattern DXF for the active part.
 
-3. **Post-processing** -- Each exported DXF is run through the EtchBendLines library, which identifies bend-up lines and adds short etch marks at their endpoints on a dedicated `ETCH` layer. Only up bends are etched because SolidWorks automatically flips the flat pattern so the shortest flange is the first bend. The etch marks let the press brake operator verify part orientation right off the laser table without flipping -- the first bend (shortest flange) will always have an etch line.

-4. **Upload** -- DXF files (zipped), PDFs, and BOM item data are uploaded to the CutFab API along with sheet metal properties. The API auto-links cut templates based on material and thickness.
+4. **Save** -- DXF and PDF files are saved to a `Templates/` folder next to the source file. An Excel workbook is written with the BOM and Cut Templates sheets. If re-exporting, content hashes are compared against the existing workbook -- unchanged DXFs are skipped, changed DXFs get a revision suffix.

 ## Configuration
 
-The API base URL is configured in `App.config`:
+Settings are in `App.config`:
 
 ```xml
 <appSettings>
-  <add key="CutFab.ApiBaseUrl" value="http://localhost:7027" />
+  <add key="MaxBendRadius" value="2.0" />
+  <add key="DefaultSuffix" value="PT{item_no:2}" />
 </appSettings>
 ```
 
-## DXF Filename Format
+### Filename Template Placeholders
 
-Exported files follow the pattern: `{EquipmentNo} {DrawingNo} PT{ItemNo}.dxf`
+| Placeholder | Description | Example |
-
+|-------------|-------------|---------|
-Example: `5007 A02 PT01.dxf`
+| `{item_no:N}` | Item number, zero-padded to N digits | `{item_no:2}` → `03` |
+| `{part_name}` | SolidWorks part name | `Bracket` |
+| `{config}` | Configuration name | `Default` |
+| `{material}` | Material name | `AISI 304` |
