Sheet Metal: edit flat pattern

xiss_burgxiss_burg Member Posts: 7

I have created a sheet metal part from an existing model using Thicken with Tangent Propagation. Now I'd like to edit the flat pattern (specifically I want to increase one of the chamfers, see linked document). A sheet metal part created from scratch would have a sketch that could be edited to achieve this. What about this case? There's no sketch.

There was an error displaying this embed.

Thank you!

    You could make a sketch on the flat pattern or use the direct editing tools. .

    To be specific, I created a sketch on the flat pattern and then copied and pasted onto a new sketch created on the regular view.

    Hmmmm … I probably lost you here … what are you trying to achive with this special move? That contradicts a parametric design approach, at least. Maybe a link to the document could shed some light and enable people here to propose a cleaner solution.
