AutoCAD Inventor :: Unable To Create A Flat Pattern
Mar 7, 2013I want to creat a flatpattern of an iregulary cut cylinder that was made in the standard .ipt world and is now converted into a sheetmetal. I want to "Unroll" the piece out so can see the shape of it as a flat piece. Picture of it is attached.

Jul 19, 2013I can't get Inventor to create a flat pattern of the attached sheetmetal part. It's a pretty basic part, just five folds. I'm not getting any error issues - when I go to the flat pattern it just shows the folded part (picture attached).
I assume it has something to do with the way I folded it and the notches, etc. Inv makes to accomplish the fold. I'm using Inventor 2013 on Win 8.
AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Create Flat Pattern From VBA Code
Dec 29, 2011I need a code to generate the Flat Pattern in VBA.
I made an app who sets the specific material and I would like to unfold the folded part at the same time.
I tried this code, but not works:
Dim partDoc As PartDocument
Dim sheetMetalDef As SheetMetalComponentDefinition
If (Not sheetMetalDef.HasFlatPattern()) Then
sheetMetalDef.Unfold
End If

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Create Flat Pattern For Flanged Disk
Oct 15, 2013I have created a round end cap with a flange for a tank. (Please see attached picture) We have a flanging machine that rolls the edges on round flat pieces of sheet metal. The issue is that no matter how I create this rolled flange in the model, I cannot get a flat pattern out of this.
We need to know the size of the blank before rolling the lip on it and I have tried using the contour flange and it doesn't work, I have tried revolving in sheet metal and it still will not create a round flat pattern. It seems that no matter what I do, it will not produce a round flat pattern. Is this something that can be done in inventor or am I just trying to do something that inventor is not yet capable of doing?

Jan 2, 2012I am trying to export geometry found in a flat pattern sketch overlaid onto the flat pattern.
Since I am creating the output file manually I gather the flat pattern boundaries and bend center lines for output to a file.
When I add flat pattern sketch entities to the mix they do not overlay properly. What matrix would I have to push the sketch entities through to get them to the same coordinates as the flat pattern?

May 2, 2013I'm attempting to create a mini version of a product, I use the Derived Component button and scale the part down.

Nov 9, 2010The company I work for has a large number of Left Hand and Right Hand sheet metal parts. To reduce the amount of time needed to create both Left Hand and Right Hand sheet metal parts, I use the Derived Part icon. I create a Left Hand part, use the derive icon with mirroring on and create the Right Hand part. While the Right Hand sheet metal part gets created, the Right Hand part will not allow me to create a Flat Pattern.
what steps must I follow to create a derived sheet metal part that I can make a Flat Pattern with?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Keep Cut In Flat Pattern
Mar 2, 2012My next challenge with my rolled cone bottom is to place an oval in the cone that will give the right edges for the lazer pattern. If I create the cut while in the formed shape the edges are not perpendicular to the face in the flat pattern. If I place the cut in the flat pattern, it is suppressed when the part is returned to the formed state.
In other packages I would unfold the part, place the cut, and then refold it retaining the cut. How do we deal with this situation here?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Flat Pattern With Rib Features?
Dec 14, 2012My flat pattern of a sheet metal part fails when I added strenthening Press ribs to the middle of the part using an iFeature.
I know Inventor is not capable of flattening embossed sheetmetal but is there a way to still get the flat pattern & ignore the formed areas?
Seems to me I was able to add some model features in the past like bosses, extruded holes KO's etc & I could still make a flat pattern.
I know I can use derived part to do it but that adds complications.

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Show Flat Pattern
Aug 26, 2012It's my first time using sheet metal in a drawing and I can't figure out how to show flat pattern in the drawing. When I insert the base view into my drawing, the bottom to "Sheet Metal View" to "Flat Pattern" is shown, but it's ghosted out so I can't select it. Is there something I have to do in the part drawing in order to activate this feature?

May 30, 2012So, I have an assembly with a sheet metal part and a lot of pressed studs, spacers, weld nuts. I'd like to do a flat pattern with these parts in it in order to give their positions to manufacture, because they have to be pressed and weld in flat pattern phase, before bending.
Is there any easy way to do this (instead of saving flat pattern as SAT and insert every components again)?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Flat Pattern For Hopper
Nov 17, 2011I have designed a hopper using the lofted flange command. It is a 24" sq going to an 8" diameter. I would like to apply the rip feature to make (4) separate sections for this hopper so that (4) separate pieces can be cut on a waterjet machine. I can make it so that only (2) flat patterns are required, (2) pieces cut for each.
Can this be done in Inventor 2011? Also, can you recommend a good book on Sheetmetal in Inventor?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Invisible Flat Pattern In IDW
May 3, 2012I just got around to installing my subscription upgrade from INV PRO 2012 to 2013. I am having trouble getting sheet metal flats to show up in the idw's. The folded parts are visible, solid parts are visible, etc. The problem seems to be specific to flat patterns. I have attached a screen shot of a sample part.
When I hover the mouse over where the flat pattern should be, the red dashed box which usually encloses the view shows up, however it is tiny. Barely the size of the view label.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Flat Pattern On Ellipse
Feb 14, 2013I'm having difficulty with a sheet metal part creating a flat pattern for it. The shape is an ellipse with the dimensions shown in the second picture. When I attempt to create a flat pattern it just shows the side of the part. The sheet metal defaults are correct for the part and it was ripped to created a base point for the pattern. I need to create a DXF for manufacture. I would just use the flat pattern it gives me and mirror it twice to create a pattern but it doesn't factor in the radius of the part. How to create a correct flat pattern for this item?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Edge Bend For Flat Pattern
Jul 31, 2013Any way of drawing an edge bend on a flat bit of copper so I can flat pattern it for the guys on the shop floor to make.
The problem comes with the edge bend, I have provided a picture of a simple bit of copper with various flat bends and a single edge bend. As the flat pattern shows to the right the edge bend is not flattered, This was drawn using a sketch the profile then using "face" . This is why I assume it does not work in flat pattern.
Is it possible to draw an edge bend with a command to allow it to flat pattern? if so which command and how?
