Inventor Sheet Metal Cone

Press the sheet metal defaults button uncheck use thickness from rule if its checked set thickness to 0478 and click okay.

Inventor sheet metal cone.

Uniform thickness planar faces connected with cylindrical or conic bends br non intersecting faces in folded or. Use all of the tools in your inventor toolbox to create the geometry you need. I revolved the sketch around to generate the cone. Fine the cone created ok but when i click on the flat pattern button it just reorientates the cone but doesnt generate a flat pattern.

Simply use care to create valid geometry. Understanding the rules for inventor sheet metal opens up the entire toolbox of tools rather than limiting the user to those tools designated as sheet metal. In particular it helps to streamline the process chain and to directly transfer data to the production. Use all of the tools in your inventor toolbox to create the geometry you need.

Simply use care to create valid geometry. Sheet metal cone i have looked at this but have not been able to create a cone and then a flat pattern from it. Convert to sheet metal and set the thickness in sheet metal defaults to whatever my offset was. Then flat pattern if needed.

I find it easier to revolve a cone using an offset line for the thickness in a part file ipt revolve at less then full i use angle 359. Understanding the rules for inventor sheet metal opens up the entire toolbox of tools rather than limiting the user to those tools designated as sheet metal. Then select highlight the inside surface of your cone and press the flat pattern button.
