Sheet Metal Predefined View
Sheet Metal Predefined View
(OP)
I would like to create a drawing template that is set up with a predefined flat pattern view. This way, I could quickly create a 1:1 flat pattern with bend lines and notes turned on.
Is this possible to do without writing a macro, or does someone have a macro that is close enough that they would be willing to share?
Thanks in advance!

In other words, you may need to manually create the flat pattern configuration in the part in order to get the predefined view to work.

That being said, I've not found a way to insert a blank predefined view into a template yet. I ended up inserting a 1:1 end view in the drawing . I select it and click the flat pattern option.
