Flatt Pattern of a Rolled Cylinder in SheetMetal
Flatt Pattern of a Rolled Cylinder in SheetMetal
(OP)
In Sheetmetal, I have used the revolved Wall command to creat a cylinder. I am wondering how I get a flat pattern of this. The problem I have is selecting a fixed area for the bend back as it is cylindrical.
I am hoping to be able to export a 1/1 dxf to the manufacurer so any port cuts in the cyliner are in the correct position.
Any ideas?

I have done an unbend ok although you have to specifiy the driving/offset side correctly for it to work.
But the Flate State is not completely flat. You still get a 90 degree profile of the rolled cylinder.
Any Ideas??
