Solved: Sheet metal Drafting

Anonymous · ‎09-21-2017

I am trying to make a detail of a sheet metal part with two views (unfolded & folded)....I know you can place a unfolded view by checking flat pattern in base view dialogue but that option is not available;le for some reason. If anyone knows what might be going wrong that would be greatly appreciated.

Have a great day.

You need to create the flat pattern in the sheet metal ipt first for that to be available..

I have tried that...i have been using the unfold command to make the flat pattern and it still only one base view option.

The unfold command is used to unfold your sheet metal part, do something and then you refold. You need to generate flat pattern per these steps.
