Unfolding slotted tubes

Unfolding slotted tubes

Unfolding slotted tubes

(OP)
I am currently using Solidworks 2008. In our business we use very many slotted tube arrangements, however, when I attempt to unfold the slotted tube, it refuses to include the slots in the blank form. I've tried all the methods I know but maybe I'm doing something wrong. Help please.
Unfortunately for me, our company is small and because of costs has ended subscriptions, hence I have no support from Solidworks provider. Thanks in anticipation Al.

Hi Mitsu, not sure what you mean but could you re-post your version of the model to me please so that I can evaluate it.
Thanks for your help, it will save our company some time.
Regards Alan.

RE: Unfolding slotted tubes
