AutoCAD Inventor :: Derived Part Flat Pattern Or Multi Flat Patter In One Part?

Feb 17, 2010

I can't find a way to create multi flat patters in one part from a lofted sheetmetal part. Also, didn't the developers fix the 'can't make a flat pattern from a derived part'?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Flat Pattern From Scaled Derived Sheet Metal Part?

May 2, 2013

I'm attempting to create a mini version of a product, I use the Derived Component button and scale the part down. Then I use  Convert to Sheet Metal, set my sheet metal defaults, but then nothing happens when i try to create flat pattern. Is it even possible to derive a flat pattern from a scaled part?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Unable To Create A Flat Pattern From Derived Sheet Metal Part

Nov 9, 2010

The 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 :: Flat Pattern Of Part With Flanges And Fold Won't Generate

Sep 26, 2011

The last feature of this L-Bracket is a fold.  When I create the flat pattern it is only unfolded, not completely flattened.  Prior to INV 2009, I could get a wireframe flat pattern with the part still folded.  Since then, I have to unfold to get a flat pattern.  The only way to show the formed part and flat pattern in IN2012 is to use a derived part with the base component supressed and the base component with the fold supressed.

How to be able to simply flatten this part so I don't have to do extra work with two parts

AutoCAD Inventor :: Sheet Metal Part Has No Flat Pattern Button?

Dec 19, 2011

I have a sheet metal part that is not showing a flat pattern button in the ribbon (two parts actually). Please see the picture attached. The workflow for this part is as follows:

1.) Create a master/skeleton sketch of my floor plate layouts for a platform I am currently doing

2.) Derive that sketch into each floor plate part

3.) Extrude the layout sketch

4.) Convert the standard ipart to a sheet metal part

5.) Set my sheet metal rule to match the thickness

6.) Add a flange to represent a stair nosing

7.) Look to my Ribbon to create a flat pattern and....

As a test, I created a new standard ipart (no derived sketch) and converted it to a sheet metal part, added a flange, and still no flat pattern button.

This can't possibly be by design, so what am I missing?

AutoCAD Inventor :: 2009 - Flat Pattern From Derived Mirrored Sheet Metal Part

Sep 17, 2009

I created a sheet metal part with multi-edge flanges; the part unfolded no problem. Now, I need an exact, mirrored copy of that part [new part number]. My first attempt was a mirrored component at the assembly level. The part was mirrored but it would not unfold. My next attempt was a derived part with the mirrored option selected. This part, too, was mirrored but would not unfold either.

"In sheet metal parts, mirroring flanges or contour flanges created using multi-edge select is not supported." Is this why the flat pattern fails?

Is there a workaround? I'd hate to create the mirrored part from scratch when I all need is reverse bends.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Structure Using Attached Part Geometry?

Mar 19, 2012

I want to create a structure using the attached part geometry, what would be the best way to make the crosses coincident with the two long columns? (just like the 2 at the top but without having to manually trim each line, if it could be constrained to variable parameters even better)

The structure has the same geometry on all four sides so i intend to circular patern the frame generator components around the Z axis, any better workflows?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Sheet Metal Part Orientation And Flat Pattern Views To Correspond In Space

Apr 17, 2012

I am trying to program the view placement of various parts and have run into a situation where I need to place flat patterns. On the programming side there isn't an issue, but the issue occurs when attempting to select the wanted view orientattion.

Attached you will find 2 screen shots. One of them is from the "Folded Model" (Take note of the View Cube)

The other is from only Pressing the "Go to Flat Pattern" Button and being in "Flat Pattern" viewing mode (Note the Cube)

I need the Flat Pattern View to correspond with the Orientation of the Folded Model.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Unable To Create Flat Pattern

Jul 19, 2013

I 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, 2011

I 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

It works fine with other parts, and I've created & deleted the flat pattern for this part before, but for some reason, it now won't work.

It won't let me upload the file, as it's too big, so I'm going to try uploading it in parts...

AutoCAD Inventor :: Create Flat Pattern IDWs From Assembly

To increase the speed of production, I like to generate idws of flat patterns from assembly. The following iLogic rule work fine inside a metal sheet (I had to create flat pattern before run this rule).

 But from an assembly there are some problem ( firstable I'm not an expert of vba and ilogic)

AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Create Flat Pattern For Flanged Disk

Oct 15, 2013

I 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?

AutoCAD Inventor :: 2011 Moving Geometry From Flat Pattern Sketch Space To Flat Pattern Space

Jan 2, 2012

I 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?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Keep Cut In Flat Pattern

Mar 2, 2012

My 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?
