Unfold

[astuc]

Can I use Unfold function if part is not created in SMD?

Thanks

You might have to run wall recognition first...

Even with wall recognition you are only going to be able to unfold ruled bends and not formed ones (double curvature)

Thanks,

I am not after unfolding formed parts, just simple SM
folded parts with few walls on few angles. Reason I want
to unfold is just to create max overlap on some spots.

SMD should do you then, but you are going to have to recognise the part first.

I did extract only surfaces on 2 angles and asked for that
bit to unfold.
I did manage to unfold only without recognise.
Just wondering what is the resaon my part can not bee
recognised?
Thanks

your part can not be recognized if the wall tickness is different than other walls, first examine all the pad features, make sure that they have the same dimension.
