I need to model a curved panel (.125 sheet
plastic), but I need to show it flat in the drawing. How could I go about
doing this in Inventor?
plastic), but I need to show it flat in the drawing. How could I go about
doing this in Inventor?
FYI... In MDT, I knew of no easy way to do this...
I modeled the part curved (as it will be in the assembly) and drew it in 2D
(flat) on the drawing. So, if I updated the model, I had to remember to
manually update the drawing.

I hope there's a better way in Inventor.
We have to do this quite often. Thanks...

Is it curved in more than one direction? If not just use the SM tools.... but I am
guessing it is?

It will fold a curve in two directions as well.

Are you saying it can fold and flatten something that stretches in more than one
direction? If so ...how? I am hoping you haven't shown me this recently and my steel
trap of a mind let it slip through

I think Kent was referring to a compound curvature (which IV won't do)?
