Sheetmetal part ALWAYS updates when you go to Drafting??
Sheetmetal part ALWAYS updates when you go to Drafting??
(OP)
Hi All,
I been noticing the situation where when you create a drawing from a sheetmetal part it seems to continually update.
I mean the first time you create a view related to a true sheetmetal part you would normally expect that.
However when I go back into the drawing it goes ahead and updates the sheetmetal part everytime...WHY???
Could anyone with some good understanding of this please help.
Thanks for your time.

If you make a change in modeling, you do not have to go to sheetmetal application to update flat pattern. This saves time and a sheetmetal license.

That makes sense, so do you know of a way to turn off this up-date feature.
In my case I am doing treadplates that are used as walkway platform on the top of industrial machines.
These treadplates are about 500mm x 750mm and have 300-500 instances that take literally ages to update. This nearly kill me when I go into a drawing each time.
I was think of something along the lines like the 'delay update' in modeling. Or perhaps there is another way I don't quite know just yet.
Any ideas appreciated, thanks.
Best Regards
Dave

"Fixed in the next release" should replace "Product First" as the PTC slogan.
