Flat pattern 1

[cubalibre000]

Hi,
I can't able to flat pattern this part.
Half part yes, but with mirror features and unite feature, no.
I don't understand where is the problem.

Thank you...

Apply "convert to sheet metal" and then you can have both the flat pattern and the flat solid.

Hi frankbe,
your solution works fine, but I would like to know why doesn't flat pattern.

Thank you...

I think uniting the 2 bodies or features (I tried mirror body too) looses the sheet metal information. By re-applying sheet metal to the body the turns out OK. Just a guess.

I think Frankie about has it see attached! Some of what you had just wasn't comprised of sheet metal features I guess.

It actually appears to be the way to do it if you read the help file. Just look for "Mirroring NX Sheet Metal parts" and you will see how and why.

I'm going to file an ER to create a specific "mirror sheet metal body" function to make life easier.
