I need help please. In the attached SolidWorks part I have a feature called "Loft2" that I need to create a 2D flat pattern of in AutoCAD. For those of you who don't have SW 2011 there's a PDF attached showing the loft too. Since it is a loft that warps it's way down and around, I can't just use insert a bend.
If anyone knows how, would some please let me know how to accurately measure this and convert it to a 2D flat pattern?
I work with SolidWorks 2011 at the moment so I can view the file you sent back. It looks like you are focusing on the base or gray surface however I'm in need of a flat pattern for the yellow lofted surface. Could you maybe explain what was in the SW model you sent back and how I can get the flat pattern? Thanks for your assistance.
Ok, Please see video and please try at your SolidWorks 2011
That's a tidy solution there Dony. Nice work.
Hi Janet..
Can you confirm for my tutorial to worked or not?
Thanks,
Thanks Dony for quick help. I got my 3D model updated as you have shown. The plate was cut yesterday, now I'm just waiting for feedback from the installers (if the flat pattern is correct or not). I'm extremely nervous to hear the results, keeping my fingers crossed. :-) Thanks again!!
Hi Janet,
How to result for cutting? Ok or Not?
