Good day to everyone,
I have a problem with drawings in SW 2017 SP2.
I have a sheet metal part and I make a drawing out of it with a flat pattern view. I save the file and close the drawing.
When I open again the drawing an message apears and tells me that my flat pattern isn't found so the progra will put a regular view instead.
Can you tell me how to overcome this problem?
Thank you!
This is the error:
I find this is the "normal" behavior of sheet metal part:.
1. Part is created but the flat pattern derived configuration is not automatically created.
2. Insert the part in a drawing and create a flat pattern view. (Make sure part file is also open.) Then save the drawing.
3. Look at the part files and you will see that the flat pattern derived configuration has been added. Save the part file!
4. Now you can open the drawing without errors.
