Unfolded Views in Drawings
Unfolded Views in Drawings
(OP)
Hi All,
I get errors in drawing views when I unfold a moldel part and try to create other standard views, even when I go back to the model and re-fold the part again. Any thoughts? Thx.

1) Folded - Unsuppressed Process bends
2) Unfolded - Suppressed Process bends
Then while in a drawing you only need to pick the proper config that you need or you could show both in one drawing.

The sheet metal feature should be used in the same fashion as a fillet, always done last. When adding features (holes or flanges) scroll back prior to the bending process. Add holes after the bending will not be part of the flat pattern. Remember to create the part as the fabricators do. Punch out the pattern and holes, bend the part and add Pem parts last.

You open both the drawing and model in sw.
Insert a Named View and when you are asked to pick a view from model file. Pick the model window, and pick 'Flat-Pattern' from orientation dialog. Sw automatically creates a configuration for unfolded view. and inserts in drawing.
Beware if you already have a sm-pattern configuration. and you modify the par. Sw unfolded configuration will not understand it. You may have to delete that configuration and recreate once again.
Sheetmetal in Solidworks is slightly tricky. Verify developments with your manual calculations.
