Flat pattern in drawing, not working from an assembly

Hi @mac_ito 

I'll ask the team to take a look into this for you, in the meantime, please try the workflow below:

Hi, could the problem come from the fact that my assembly is not a sheet metal component, as in your example

Hi @mac_ito

It would be always recommended that you create sheet metal component if you are working with sheet metal, since then it is easier to adjust the specific sheet metal parameters when working with the file.

Yep but does not work for an assembly

You can re-create this by creating an external sheet metal body, then when you open it, you can make more sheet metal bodies within that sheet metal. Images attached.
There might be an easier way to do this though.
