issues with inserting proper flat patern to existing multi parts drawing

[marcinm55]

Hello for everyone,

I have made a copy of sheet metal part by main menu "save as" and after that I want to add flat patern to existing multi parts drawing and fusion inserts flat pattern of the parrent model not the new one. Can you please explain me how I can to do this in proper way.

Fusion 360 can only create a drawing from one model so to do what you desire, you must place the sheet metal components in an assembly drawing.  Since they are components, each can have it's individual flat pattern.  The Screencast will help to explain.

You forgot one small detail that is causing your issue.  After you opened the original and used Save As to a new sheet metal component, you forgot a key detail.  You must get rid of the "existing" flat pattern and replace it with a new one for the altered sheet metal component, in this case a flat pattern with a hole.  That is the only thing you forgot to do and your drawing, for the copied sheet metal component, is using the flat pattern from the one you copied from.  The Screencast will emphasis this.
