Hi
I am trying to see if a flex cable from an LCD reaches the control panel. I have the drawing of the lcd (2,1" https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000545036225.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.5.4fed1802Ok...) and I did the LCD part, and draw the flex cable as a separate body. Converted to sheet metal, and bent it, but the bend actually makes the 'cable' part longer, and that defeats my purpose. Can I somehow tell fusion to use the current sketch as the 'flat pattern'?
Yes I know I could draw a spline, maybe I'll do that, but the shape of the cable is a bit flunky, couldnt do that from a spline.
pic of before and after bend, also attached f3d file. Thanks!
