Flat pattern to conical shape

Dale Almasy Aug 4, 2015 6:17 PM

I have a flat circular pattern (10.65") that when bent it creates a conical shape with overlapping tabs roughly (0.6") how would I go about showing this in both a flat pattern view and a bent view for assembly drawing purposes? I am using 2012 and the current model I am using is from 2 years ago and is hacked together showing the correct flat pattern and a semi-conical shape.

If you draw this with a sheet metal lofted-bend you can create a flat-pattern.
Real quickly drawn, so it's not accurate to your part, but it will work with your part.
