Sheet parts and its Unfolding Drawing

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Sheet part drawings are designed in the same way as for common parts (see section 2D Projections. Creating 2D Drawings of 3D Models).

To create a sheet part unfolding drawing a special command - Flat Pattern Projection – is used. The command is available from the ribbon in Draw group if 2D view is active. If a 2D sheet is not created in the document, it is recommended to pre-create it with the help of WSR Split Vertically or WSH Split Horizontally commands (their icons are in left lower corner of the 3D scene).

To create an unfolding projection you can use the following command:

Ribbon

Draw → Flat Pattern Projection

Keyboard

Textual Menu

<3PF>

Operation > Sheet Metal > Flat Pattern Projection

 

If necessary, the sheet part and its unfolding drawings can be placed at one sheet.
