AutoCAD Inventor :: Unable To Get Exact Flat Pattern Layout For Round To Square Transition

I am able to extract an flat pattern (for round to square)  but not exactly as the customers drawing.

The original drawing shows some relief in bending lines which i am not able to add in inventor. after a glance at the attachments you will clearly understand what i want.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Square To Round Transition Options

Apr 14, 2012

I have a square to round transition that I need formed up and the shop is telling me that they would prefer to split this thing at the corners rather than the flats. I've tried two different ways of doing this but how to handle this part. It's 10.75" OD at the bottom and 2'-4" square at the top and 1'3" in length and made of 1/4" stainless steel plate. The shop wants this in four bent pieces that they can weld together down the corners.

I've tried making just the one side but I'm not getting the results I would like to see. Making the full transition (as in the picture above) gives the finished result I am looking for but I can't separate it into multiple sides.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Way To Pull Flat Pattern Layout Of Sheet Metal And Convert to NC1 File

Sep 4, 2013

Where I work we do a lot of plate and punch holes in beams for rebar.  Is there a way to pull the flat patteren layout of sheet metal and convert to an NC1 file.  I can export to a DXF but then i must manually go in and make changes to the DXF in order for it to cut right on our plasma and laser tables.  As far as punching holes and cutting beams any clues on this either?  We were outsourcing our drafting work before but now we are switching over to in house.  I have contacted our supplier of plate nesting software and it looks like they sell something but that means another license of it on another computer.

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 :: Unable To Flat Pattern After Converting To Sheet Metal

Dec 30, 2013

I'm having trouble creating a flat pattern from a solid i've modelled.

Workflow: Created a 2D sketch in xy plane and extruded -1084 mm in z dir. Created cut, and extruded slots which were then patterned with rectangular pattern.

Converted to sheet metal, and then tried to flat pattern.

Tried to remove all features exept the 1st extrude, still having the same problem.

I have tried to set the correct material and sheet metal defaults, but still no luck.

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 :: 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 :: Smoothing Faces Of A Loft (square To Round Shape)

Oct 16, 2013

When I make a loft, from a 12x12 square to an 8" circle (12" high for the sake of arguement), the corners of the square kind of loft up to the circle where it's corners would be...leaving a sharp break between the planes

Is there a way to make it look like the sheet metal lofted flange appears? So that the corners of the square drift to the quadrants of the circle, making a smooth transition?

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?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Flat Pattern With Rib Features?

Dec 14, 2012

My 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, 2012

It'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?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Flat Pattern With Parts

May 30, 2012

So, 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, 2011

I 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, 2012

I 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, 2013

I'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 :: Contour Roll To Flat Pattern

The problem starts with the contour roll. Surpressing this contour roll feature (and dependent featured flange) results in a OK flat pattern.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Edge Bend For Flat Pattern

Jul 31, 2013

Any 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?
