However, access methods to some functionality are the same as found in releases previous to the ribbon interface.
You can access a sheet metal flat pattern through the browser or the ribbon. First, create some basic sheet metal geometry:
- With the part file open, click 3D Model tab
Convert panel Convert to Sheet Metal. - Click the Face command and create a face.
- Click the Flange command and add a flange.
To create the flat pattern:
- Click the Create Flat Pattern command.
To exit the flat pattern:
- Click the Go to Folded Part command.
After you create the flat pattern, you can access the flat pattern with the ribbon command Go to Flat Pattern. Or, you can use the context menu on the Folded Model and Flat Pattern nodes in the browser (or double-click the nodes).
