Hello, I use afx to create tubes for a frame. Specifically I use sheetmetal pipes to have the outside diameter and thickness I want.
After I trim the tubes that intersect with each other (via profile cut out) I would like to unfold the tube to make a dxf of the 2d sketch.
However when I open the tube "example_sm_pipe_10_fl.prt" the flat pattern fails to regenerate. What can I do to have the tube unfolded with its cut out?
Thanks!

Hi, Once you have the profiled tube carry out the following.
A simple tube flattened in this way is attached.
I assume you know how to create the DXF. (create drawing with flat view > save as a dxf)
