I've been working on this assembly file. I recently realized that the instruction I was following has me adding the sheet metal portion while in the Assembly mode. The sheet metal is not a separate file it seems. Don't see any way to mate them later ?
So my questions are:
1. how is this an assembly file and how with one be able to remove or flatten the sheet metal portion ?
2. What are the "Save" window message telling or asking me ? Not sure about them ?
I'm trying to figure out what the problem is with getting the file to upload correctly but since Im not a power user it may be a while before I can get the problem figured out.
Looks like you've been creating new parts in the assembly rather than creating a new part and inserting it into the assembly. To save them as individual parts just open them up and save them. It will give you the same message, ignore it, give it a name and same it.
You should be able to mate them and when you save them the flat pattern will go with them.
