Flattening and Folding the Part

Your Ad Here


You can flatten all the bends of a sheet metal part at once.

  1. Verify that the rollback bar is rolled to the end, then click Flatten (Sheet Metal toolbar). This is the same as unsuppressing the Flat-Pattern feature that was created with the Base Flange feature.

The flattened sheet metal part appears with all of the bend lines shown.

  1. To fold the part back up, click Flatten again.

  2. Save the part.
