Hello.
It would be great to have a warning message for sheet metal parts when they have more than 1 closed loop.
Below is the example on how it works now. As you can see there is a "lofted flange" with 2 rips, which creates 2 parts instead of 1, which causes that flat pattern does not show the correct flat pattern (it shows only the 1 half of the actual part).
I know it is a user mistake to make it like that, but Inventor should prevent this action or at least show a warning message that something will not be made as expected.
Actual part (with 2 rips - splitted):
Flat pattern for the part with 2 rips (splitted):
Flat pattern for the part with 1 rip (not splitted):
Best regards,
Rene Repina
