Hi everyone,
How can I draw the attached part using only sheet metal environment in Alibre?
It is way faster not using sheet metal, because I cannot do circular pattern for a body created by sheet metal commands. If I could make a circular pattern of the first "Contour Flange" feature, it would be a lot easier to draw the part. If I don't use sheet metal environment and I need to have the flat pattern, then I have to use Convert to Sheet Metal command which creates one more file for the same part.
My Alibre file (Sheet metal) --> 21-02-11 LIGHT MOUNT(1).AD_SMP
My Alibre file (Solid) --> 21-02-11 LIGHT MOUNT SOLID PART.AD_PRT
What do you think? is there any other way you could come up with?
Thanks.
