Ok, I have posted this question on another forum to no avail. I have a formed part using a die in sheetmetal(wf4). but the flatten form feature is not working at all. i went to th help files to see if i was doing something incorrectly but i was doing it by the book to use the flatten form feature. Does anyone know how to make the funtionality do its job? is there something in the cfg file that needs to be enabled? I need the flat patterns so i can send them to our vendor. Something this simple should not cause so much trouble. Thanks in advance

Jim

as you can see it is a simple part. one might say just use the roll feature when creating the large radius bend. however, you cannot attach a bent flang to the top after the roll. And the bend at the top is not horizontal

James,

I just recreated your part in WF5 and had no problems... would you like to send the part to me?
