Creo 1.0 - Multiple model states in a drawing...

[branden]

I have a sheetmetal part that I need to show on a drawing in both flattened state, and bent state.

How do I save both states of the model to bring into the drawing? I cannot figure it out in Creo 1.0.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

It appears that this can still be done with the family table (if you use them). Search help for "flat instance" and the first item returned describes the general process. I fumbled my way through it, and I say fumbled because the workflow is completely different and, as we are not using this version yet, I haven't learned where much is located in the U.I..

James and Branden,

You can use the config option "enable_flat_state" and set it to yes.

That will give you the option inside of the properties window to create the "flat state" like you could in Pro/E before.

Then you can add the instance to the drawing just like before.

Hope this helps a little with the workflow.
