Alternative way to copy bend lines onto new drawing from Sheet Metal Environ?

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a new sketch off of a sheet metal body that includes the bend lines. Currently, when I use the project command on this new sketch the bend lines do not come in. The only option I have found is measure where these bend lines are and to dimension them on the new sketch. This is a little tedious and I'm just wondering if there is an easier way to do this that I'm missing. I've included an image of the part I'm trying to create, the project file, and a screencast to show you what I"m trying to make. Thanks for taking a look

Hi,

maybe this way:

Refold > new component > new sketch  > project geometry 1 into new Sketch  ?

Please don't answer if you really don't know. It's not helpful and just wastes time. Thanks anyway however.

Looking at your screencast, did you try selecting\projecting the bend lines as well as the face?

Just a quick test on a design I have and I can project the bend lines no problem but the sketch is only available while the flat pattern is active. Is that what you need?

Here's the sketch with the body hidden in the flat pattern.

And here's your design, didn't notice you'd attached it! See attached file.

Also note, you have auto project enabled so you don't need to project the face again or you'll end up duplicating all the face edges.
