RE: Updating flat pattern in NX 8.5
change to Application "NX Sheet Metal".
Insert -> Convert -> Convert to Sheet Metal
(hope this works)
Insert -> Flat Pattern -> Flat Pattern
The Flat Pattern philosophy in new NX Sheet Metal is completely different from old Sheet Metal Design. The FP is now associative to the body, does not to be refreshed after changes. It's not "stupid" splines anymore. You find the FP in the Model View in Part Navigator, you can place this view in drawings. You can export the FP to DXF or Trumpf Geo with Insert -> FP -> Export FP
