Hi Kent, If I just open file from file open it works, like Walt said. If you
use the options it also works, it was failing before using the options
"expand blocks you might have mtext"?, I followed to the letter now it
works? doh. I know I am not the only one having problems with this I have
read many a post where they just can't get it to work? Oh AutoCAD 3D model.
Dunno, thanks any way.

Kent ... what's the trick for getting holes to come out round in a
flat-pattern? Know I've seen it before but haven't run into it often enough
to remember.

I saw you asked this on the other group, but I figured coming over here I
would escape having to respond Guess not huh?
Besides wasn't that your job to keep track of that one?

I sort of remember something about this, but ??? I don't really do much
with flatpatterns either. I usually throw a view of one on the idw just for
effect... I don't dimension on it or anything. The sheetmetal house doesn't
trust me

The only thing that keeps coming to mind about holes is how sometimes
depending on which side you preselect countersunk holes can have problems.

I did a search through Lorens posts but didn't find anything.

Ah ... there isn't a problem with holes on the faces; they look fine on the
flat-pattern, but if I try to make a hole through two 60 degree faces and a
bend (a corner) the holes get whacked in the flat-pattern. Cut across bend
won't even work; the hole fails. Not important, though, thought maybe you
knew the answer. Sorry for putting you on the spot.

I would have hoped that they would have posted links in their notice.
There are those who are "newsgroup subscribe challenged".

I just went back and looked. Anne put it in this group but not in the
inventor.support group (which is where it needs to be)

Charles -

I agree totally but by the time I got back to the old Inventor
group to post the URLs, the read only sign was up!

You should use cut across bend if you want a round hole in the flat. The
flat pattern analyzer actually produces a spline as it flattens a cut, but
we did some more work on our algorithms to recognize closed splines and
change them to circles, so you will see some improvement in drawings.

If you have a part that is failing, post it to CF and I will look into it.

This is a special case, I guess I'd call it. The cut across bend works great
as long as the hole is on a face. I can overlap the bends with the profile
sketch, tick cut across bend and it comes out fine in the flat pattern. The
special case is where the hole is not on a face but on a workplane tangent
to the bend. In that case, the cut across bend feature seems to be unable to
function. Since this is a corner, thickness couldn't be an option because
the hole would need to be deeper to get the hole all the way through to
daylight. I was thinking I had seen a workaround for this, but I guess not.
It was probably the Cut across bend solution and I thought it was something
different because I already was aware of that one.
