Error When Making Flat Pattern

[jack_bremner]

My near identical tachometer panel works fine when creating a flat pattern but I can't unfold my speedo design for some reason...

Ctrl b (CMD b on Mac) 

Any issues highlighted on the Timeline?

[jack_bremner]

No errors when I checked? I only have one body under component1 on my view?  I don't know why the speedo doesn't work but the tachometer does.

Anybody else seeing no issues after running Ctrl b?

[jack_bremner]

Maybe you have an older version of my design somehow? I had a couple old errors but resolved them easily awhile ago.

Brute force solution:

1. Go to Flat Pattern
2. Create Sketch
3. Project Full Face
4. Export Sketch as DXF (browser rmb menu)

Hi Jack,

The particular sheet metal part seems to be in an inconsistent state. Try editing the part and finish Flat Pattern. Move the Timeline bar before the last Unfold/Refold group and move it back. After that, the error will be gone.

BTW, if you go to Modify tab > Compute All, you will see quite a few failed features. Please take a look at those and fix them accordingly.

Many thanks!

Hi John, I might have given an older file by accident somehow. I only had one minor error show up when I did compute all and it was unrelated. I noticed the part itself seemed a bit glitchy after I did the compute all where half the marking would disappear and then reappear when I messed with the timeline. Kacper said to just make a dxf excluding the bend which I did then just added the bend later and it worked. Seemed to be something weird going on before.

Thanks, I forgot I could just start fresh by making a dxf of the main face and then re add the bend. This worked, I think something I did previously made the thing a bit glitchy but still show no errors.
