Formed Parts Position Changes in Drawing

[badgerdave]

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)

I might have fixed that now (had to make sketch lines from the edges of emboss and got midpoints from those) but in the side view, I'm missing the arc on the back side of the part.

(picture shows what I mean.

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

Yeah, here is the forming tool

And here is a piece I was inserting it into (just a plain sheet metal part) seems to show up fine in model

Finally the drawing where the problem shows itself

(sorry for clogging up the thread,is there a way to add multiple attachments to a post?)

Yes ... ZIP them together first!

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?

 

[badgerdave]

Ok, really weird, I tried importing all of the views and the top and bottom show up how they are supposed to while the left and right seemingly have a floating piece of metal, only connected by hidden lines.

 

[Gupta65]

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.

Tried reinserting views into drawing, still no good. Has anybody seen something like this before? We haven't updated to service pack 3.0 for SW2011 yet, any way to find out what all has changed?
