Flat pattern problem: "cuts not coming back to folded geometry"

colin.mcdonald — Sun, 07 Mar 2021 19:56:31 GMT

Hello all:

... I'm not an overly frequent sheet-metal modeller (so shout at me as you will if I'm missing something obvious), but I seem to be getting a repeatable error here.

2.0.9849
Active Plan: Fusion 360, Student
~~macOS 10.16.0~~ [edit: strange -- it's MacOS 11.2.2]

Cuts made in the "flat pattern state" are not showing in the folded geometry.

~~Please see the attached screencast~~. [edit: nope, it's not coming out of "pending". ~~Two~~ three more discovered errors in one forum post about an error. Nice! Images instead ... not both at once, instead, one ... at ... a ... time!]

Cheers, C

Hi,

You have to use a different process for that.
Watch the screencast.

Hi Günther:

... Thanks for the reply and for taking the time to make the screencast!

Unfortunately you're doing exactly what I'm doing on this end -- except for a missing command: I cannot access the "refold" step.

Nonetheless, see the screencast (no sound -- that's not happening in the Mac these days) that goes through the problem after a clean-and-reinstall: https://autode.sk/2Q1SOXW

(Fusion version 2.0.9854 on an iMac, macOS 11.2.2)

Cheers, Colin

Hi,

if you look at the timeline this is also not possible, because the cut outs are not yet available at this point.

Ah-hah!

I'm finally catching on here -- use the unfold-refold routine!

(My memory is going. So soon!)
