Sheet Metal Drawing With Both Bent and Flat Pattern Views

in Drawings
Hi Guys, 
I am trying to make drawings of some sheet metal parts and I would like to have 1 drawing that has 2 sheets. The first sheet would have the finished (bent) part and the second sheet would show the flat pattern. I am able to make drawing views of the flat part and the bent part in separate drawing tabs but I can't figure out how to do them in a single drawing tab. Is this possible?

    Hi Eric,

    You can definitely use multiple sheets in drawings! You can find some guidance here.

    Best,

    Mike

    Thanks for the quick reply Mike. Yeah, I knew how to add multiple sheets but not how to add views including flat and bent versions of the model. Actually I went back and took another look after reading through your link and found what I was looking for. I was trying to add a view with the "use existing" dropdown list in the view creator but I needed to click "insert part or assembly" first to add the second version of the part.

    Ahh, yeah that can be a little confusing. I'm glad you figured it out!
