When creating a drawing based on an unfolded sheet metal component, the bend lines neither indicate bend direction, bending radius nor bending angle amount. Is it possible to automatically derive these values and insert into the drawing (like a length dimension)? For example in the attached diag...
Hi, Always had this problem with inventor sheet metal drawings. When you are looking at drawing views of a sheet metal part it doesn't show any lines where the bends are so it can sometimes be quite unclear especially on the top view. See screenshot below: I want the bend lines to show up (sh...
Without the actual sheet metal part to look at, I can only guess. You must have the "Flat Pattern" developed in the sheet metal model before it becomes available to create the drawing view. You do not have to have it active but it must be developed in the model. Other than that, please include the part so someone can take a look at it.
I'm trying to print out a 1:1 version of a sheet metal design to try out before I commit to spending thousands on a prototype, so I unfolded the design and sent it to a drawing but the bend lines/extents don't show up in the drawing.. how can i get them to show up so I can fold my printed version at...
How do I show bend lines of an unfolded sheetmetal design in a drawing ...
I have sheet metal design which is to be bended after laser cutting process. For bending process, I have to provide drawing for bending the design. How can I do this? Thanks
