Modify Bend Angle, then flatten
Modify Bend Angle, then flatten
(OP)
Hi All,
I created a right-handed part in ST2 sheetmetal and rather than creating a new LH part I just changed the bend angle. Now when I try to flatten the part to create the draft I get an error. Is it not possible to flatten a part that has new bend angles? Thanks!

RE: Modify Bend Angle, then flatten
Try opening a new SM file and clicking on "part copy". Select the RH part and selct "mirror" in the dialogue.
This will give a linked LH part(ordered SM). This is a very robust workflow.
