hello,
i'm new to solidworks.
i have created a sheet metal part which contains 2 planar surfaces and a circular one.
i made a linear pattern to a circle in the flattened state, but when i unflatten the part the pattern is not repsresented in the graphic area.
how should i create the linear pattern so that it would be represented in botth of the states (flatten-unflatten) ?
Benea,
Your linear hole pattern is after the flat-pattern in the feature tree. Unsuppressing the Flat-Pattern feature to show the flattened part effectively rolls back the part to before you added the linear pattern. Simply drag it up the tree above the flatten feature and it seems to work fine. Your model is an earlier version so I included the screen-shot.
