Sheetmetal drawings: Multiple instances
Sheetmetal drawings: Multiple instances
(OP)
Hi,
I am new to Pro/E and am trying to create a simple sheetmetal drawing including both the formed and flattened instances of the part. Do you have to create a separate model for each bend state you want to view or is it possible to have all the necessary information in a single part file, then have views reference different instances? Thanks for your help!

RE: Sheetmetal drawings: Multiple instances
1) Create the sheet metal part in the formed state. This includes all the bends and cuts.
2) Select SET-UP/SHEETMETAL/FLAT STATE and make a flat pattern. This creates an instance, so just give it a name similar to the formed part. If the formed part is called "PART_123.prt", then call the flat state "PART_123_FLAT.prt", as an example.
3) Create a drawing, and select to include the "PART_123.prt", and add a view. Then select to add the "PART_123_FLAT.prt"model, and add this view as well.
4) The rest is like any other Pro/E drawing.
Hope this helps you out.
