As anyone seen this happern before? I was just simply working
away minding my own business and to save a little time creating
drawings I decided to open an existing drawing but choose a
different part for a reference (both parts are sheet metal and
pretty much the same except for an additional flange) but as soon
as I did solidworks deleted the flat pattern config all by
itself!
I just encountered this myself. I have no idea what caused it, but if I added a derived configuration to the "Default" configuration and named it "DefaultSM-FLAT-PATTERN" the views in the drawing worked as expected again.
