Hopefully, this should get you in the right direction. The two drawings can then be joined together (tape, spray glue, etc.) and attached to the raw stock as your fabrication template. Mastering explores aspects part design, including sketching, basic advanced modeling techniques, working with sheet metal. But currently in Inventor (2014) you can’t import a STEP file (see pics below, it’s not supported), you have to open the STEP directly, and hence you don’t get a. This means that all your sheet metal parameters are already present and correct in the part. Tiling involves creating two drawings where one drawing would show the left half (portion) of the part and the second drawing would show the right half (portion) of the part. You can simply create a new sheet metal part file and import the model into it. If you can only print letter or legal size paper, you can still print your pattern by tiling the drawing. Notice that the attached Drawing View.jpg file depicts the dimensioned part placed in a B size drawing.

In your case, since this part is 11" long, you may want to consider using a larger sheet size to print the full scale pattern. Now, you can move your cursor to an area on the drawing sheet to place your view of the flat pattern. more on this later).Ģ) Select the "Flat Pattern" button located under the Sheet Metal View section. place your cursor in the Drawing View dialog box.ġ) Notice that the scale is set to 1:1 by default (if your sheet size is larger than the part. When you do this, two things happen:Ģ) a preview of the part appears and is attached to your cursor.īEFORE clicking anywhere else. Place your part by clicking on "Base" in the place views tab on the ribbon. Doing so changes the ribbon menus for working with drawings. (it doesn't matter if you are viewing the part as a folded model or a flat pattern). To keep things simple, the following dialog assumes that only ONE file is open. When i open the autocad and when i import the file, the object didn't appears with flat pattern.Ĭould you please explain me better. How can i select the Sheet Metal View - Flat Pattern option to the dwg file. One other thing to check is the printer's zoom/scaling settings to ensure they are set to 100% or 1:1 scaling. Since I just signed up on this forum, I'm not able to post the drawing file. I had also tried printing from the *.ipt file directly and the measured results were significantly off. When I printed the file, I obtained the 279.3mm length, same as what was dimensioned in the flat pattern part. Once in the part is placed in the drawing (*.dwg), the file can be printed in full scale. Note: before dropping the view in the drawing, select the Sheet Metal View - Flat Pattern option. I think the part (.ipt) must be placed in a drawing. Apparently, the flat pattern can not be printed directly from the flat pattern part. I downloaded your file and checked it out. Pipe coping patterns was something that I had always wanted to do in inventor but never got around to it. Then using Derived Part, add whatever cutting/extruding you need to do to model the flare.I think JD Mather is right by asking for a drawing file. This part could develop the flat pattern if needed. That is, to create and edit sheet metal parts, generate flat patterns, and document the designs in drawings. The structure of the training course follows the typical stages of using the Autodesk Inventor software. To me, it appears your flared out edge would be stamped after the part is bent 180 degrees? Based on that premise, you could model the sheet metal part in Inventor without the flare, making sure you have enough length at the end for the flare. This Autodesk Inventor training course introduces the concepts and techniques of sheet metal modeling with the Autodesk Inventor software. In Inventor "un-stamping" could be as simple as suppressing the extruded features that lie across bend lines to get the part to flat pattern. You can not unfold an extruded feature made with a tool, you would need to "Unstamp" that feature. In Inventor, as in real manufacturing, bends are made in straight lines across planar surfaces, and stamping is done with a tool. So the flare can not be made using Inventor sheet metal commands. As long as the bend line does not cross the feature, but your flared edge is across a bend. Yes, you can put in a stamp feature on a planar surface and then fold or unfold the part. You do not say if flat patterning is a requirement, if so, one solution is to use Derived Part, another would be to suppress features.
