Reorder feature in sheet metal

Reorder feature in sheet metal

Reorder feature in sheet metal

(OP)
Hi,
on big sheet metal thickness, we add chamfers in the outside profile or in screw holes that begun 'Countersunk Screw Hole'.
We don't use Countersunk Screw Hole because in the flat-pattern we need to hide manually all external edge of Countersunk Screw Hole, instead with chamfers we can exclude them (chamfers) for a moment to produce the dxf flat-pattern.
Now, I ask you if there is a solution to exclude some feature to the flat-pattern or reorder them after the flat-pattern so we don't need to manually manipulate the drawings or the dxf flat-pattern.  

Thank you...

Using NX 7.0.1.7 MP3 and TC8.1

RE: Reorder feature in sheet metal

By design, the LAST features in a Sheet Metal model are always the Flat Pattern and Flattenedd Solid, unless the feature itself was applied to the Flattend Solid.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

FYI, chamfers are not accurate for this if the holes are not on a planar face.
