Flat Pattern

I have a feature that contains an option which allows the user to copy the flat pattern of a sheet metal part into the standard part studio editing space. The problem I have been having is, any time the part studio is edited and a new feature is added or removed which interacts with the parent sheet metal body, the flat…

Hi, Just a plain question here. I created a configuration Part Studio, and import many variants in one subassembly. What is the most approachable way to export all the sheet metal parts flat pattern to DWG's? We're talking about around 50-150 instances of one configuration with 2 sheet metal parts, every week. Thanks in…

importing flat pattern into a drawing, it gets cluttered up sometimes with the fold details. is there a way to delete/hide it, or even shrink the font down smaller?

Hi, as of the last update, you can now override the default units when exporting a DXF or DWG flat pattern in sheet metal. The default is Meter, can you change this default setting? We use Millimeters, and didn't spot this change, we just caught it in time before the laser cut some very small parts 😁. Many Thanks. Craig

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…

Hi all, newbe here, Just created a new sheet metal part, wanted to insert a flat pattern to drawing but unfortunately I can see only one half of a part instead of whole. What I did wrong or missed something? Help will be appreciated. Marcin

When you export a dxf it contains dozens of layers most of which i have never seen used. Is there a way to contol what entities wind up assigned to a layer? For example, the larger circle that comes with a countersinking operation is on layer 0. It would be nice to get it on a dedicated Engraving layer so my machine…

When I export flat patterns of sheet metal, I just want the contours that will be laser cut. I don't want contours of countersunk holes. Is there a way to set the export rule to exclude the extra contours?

I have a sheet metal part where I want to give a dimension from the face of the first flange to be bent to the next bend line. Is there an easy wat to show a part with only certain bends having been made? Please see bellow…

Hello, I was hoping I could find some clarification to the issue that I am having. I have tried every workaround I could come up with. Here is a link to the model. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/da3a70869b47f3999450acf7/w/7171c9ada02d83d0f0213349/e/0106c97127bcc24bdc584805 The issue is that I would like to create…

Having some trouble creating a sheet metal model for my part. I realize some features won't be possible so I excluded the faces of them. Model is here: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/a71bc4365dae58b5c767636e/w/d7917624a78333e84709a4ea/e/262b54fa3622521777020b6d
