Flat pattern moves when master model is updated
Flat pattern moves when master model is updated
(OP)
Hi
One of our users, has a sheet metal part with a flat pattern that was created in the drafting that is exhibiting some strange behavior. If we edit the master model file, say perhaps by adding an extra hole, then go to the master mdoel drawing, then update the flat pattern and the drawing, the flat pattern moves which completely screws up all the drawing view. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?
Many thanks in advance.
This is using NX4

No, there was no WAVE linking involved.

We are very close to starting the pre-go-live testing for our global role out. We have just kicked off today with a whole raft of your UK colleagues taking up residence for the next 5 months. I will test this in 7.5 but as yet we have no test system. From what I have seen of native, it looks like the whole flat pattern workflow will change for us as the flat pattern command in NX4 is under Start-->All applications --> Sheet Metal --> Forming/Flattening, where as I can't find this path in 7.5 but there is now a useful flat pattern function directly within the sheetmetal application along with the flat solid tool.
