So I'm making flat patterns for some sheet metal parts and I am including sketches on them that are used as alignment for the fabricators.  The problem is, ALL the sketches in the part come through, even if they're hidden.  Sure, I can delete them in AutoCAD, but I'm looking for a simpler, less error prone method.  If I make a drawing, and then hide bend lines and sketches, that works, but it's one more step.  It would be nice if the "Export to DXF/DWG" option in SW2012 gave you a way to only export the visible sketches.  Ideas?
