Formed Parts Position Changes in Drawing

Formed Parts Position Changes in Drawing

Formed Parts Position Changes in Drawing

(OP)
I made a custom formed part and it seemed to work fine, I placed the part in a drawing, and when I dimensioned its location, it was shifted .004." I tried it with a "stock" forming tool and it worked just fine.
Has anyone encountered this before?

(SW2011, if that helps)

RE: Formed Parts Position Changes in Drawing

Can you share the part and forming tool to check??

Yes ... ZIP them together first!

RE: Formed Parts Position Changes in Drawing

The view on the left on drawing is a flat pattern view due to which you're seeing those lines missing in your project view.

Insert a front view and then a projected view out of that and check again.

Gupta65 -I just pulled a new side view off of the view palete and it still gives the wrong view, it seems to make the "stock" emboss ok though.

CorBlimeyLimey- Thanks, I'll have to blame that on late afternoon brain haze yesterday. It's ok to assume everyone can work with a .ZIP file then, right?

 

RE: Formed Parts Position Changes in Drawing

Because they are project view of the flat pattern view. Delete all the view and reinsert them but make sure you don't select flat pattern in task pane or feature manager tree.
