Join Gabriel Corbett for an in-depth discussion in this video Creating flat patterns, part of Designing a Sheet Metal Enclosure with SOLIDWORKS.
…After we started building our assembly drawings and…our part level drawings, we might also want to…make file patterns for laser cutting or water…gate cutting or even router cutting for our parts.…Now I've got 6.3 dash one opened up and I…want to point out that I am referencing the 6.2 files…as, as that assembly because we got to the point…here that we're working on the assembly drawing for that.…We haven't completed this drawing yet but I do want to go to the…next step here and save out a DWG DXL file in a flat pattern…state so, we're going to be doing that in the following movie but in this…case I just want to make that flap pattern, so how do we do that?…How do we go to that next step?…So I'm going to start a brand new sheet, and I don't want this border here.…
I want to get rid of this border.…So right- lick here, and say, properties.…And I want to turn off display sheet format.…Let's get rid of that altogether.…Then click down here on custom sheet size.…And whatever it says down there, and it's okay.…Just click OK.…
