Sheetmetal Assembly - Flat Patterns

[KrownCNC]

Hello,

I'm designing an assembly of sheet metal parts and I think I'm stuck.  I'm individually going through each piece and generating flat patterns but in some cases, like the stabilizer bracket, I can't get flat patterns to generate for more than one piece at a time.

Did I screw myself up, or better, where did I make my design mistake?

Thanks in advance

You have probably run into the rule that you can only have one flat pattern for one body at a time.  Even if the bodies are under a component, this rule applies.  What you want is to always create sheet metal components, even if they are sub-assemblies of a top level assembly, then you can create a flat pattern for each and achieve what you desire.

All is not lost, take a look at this Blog Article and Video for a method to create sheet metal components from sheet metal bodies since I am sure you have noticed, Fusion does not allow this directly.

Interesting, and inconvenient.  Let me give this a shot...

It appears to work.  Thank you.

Strange workflow...
