What this tool does
From an assembly, Batch Flatpattern automatically generates a flat pattern in every sheet-metal part that doesn't have one yet. A time saver for production preparation on large assemblies.
How to use it
  1. Open the assembly.
  2. Click Batch Flatpattern.
  3. Thundercad runs through all references, detects sheet-metal parts without a flat pattern and creates them.

Settings

No separate settings
Batch Flatpattern uses the Inventor defaults for flat pattern orientation and rules.
Tips
💡
Combine with Batch Publish → DXF for complete production preparation in two clicks.
💡
For parts with multiple bodies, the first sheet-metal body is used.
