Warning message for sheet metal parts when they have more than 1 closed loop

Warning message for sheet metal parts when they have more than 1 closed loop

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,

Adding to the above idea, which was suggested by Monika Romańska (thank you for the suggestion):

Summary data can be read (CTRL + F7) and prompt (or message) could be: "More than one closed loop detected, flat pattern may not correspond to the model".

Me parece genial, también debería generar  un aviso cuando encuentra una deformación sobre las líneas de boceto. Muchas veces nos envían líneas creadas con otros programas de ilustración, desde donde nos apoyamos para fabricar. Cuando esas líneas  vienen con alguna deformación en X, Y, Z y no puede generar un desdoblado, NO HAY NINGUN AVISO DE QUE NO PUEDE GENERAR EL CALCULO SOBRE ESE DESDOBLADO. ¿Podrían estudiar alguna solución para que inventor marcase donde esta el error cuando no pueda generar un calculo de chapa?.
