For programming of our machines (Truamatic Punch) we need in the exported DWG a line for the placement which shows the lengt and position. To place a beading with the punch tool we have a solution problems:</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>- Placing only on a center point. Would be better to draw a line and than the punchtool registrate: angle and length for placing of the beading. this is not so importand but more work for us actual and can generate mistakes.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>- Flat pattern is the biggest problem. Because on the Flat Pattern we see the 3D form of the beading. A changing of "Punch Representation" to "2D Sketch Representation" helps not.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Maybe somebody have a solution which is working and helps in one of the steps.&nbsp;</P> Tue, 29 Aug 2017 06:45:15 GMT mario170979 2017-08-29T06:45:15Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-programming-forum/inv2014-beading-punchtool-flat-pattern/m-p/7335058#M98415 <P>Hello,</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Attached a picture of a beading we would like to use for production of sheet metal.
