how we are making flat pattern in ug nx 7.5 from solid model

I quickly did this in SolidWorks but NX should be similar. The problem with cad software’s figuring flat patterns is that they cannot calculate deep draw type forming, only linier bends (using k-factors). So remove the curves then fill them in after on the flat pattern. Really it an educated guess and you will have to adjust this flat pattern for your real world application.

This is how you compress (zip) a or many files into a single folder. Now anyone with Windows (anyone with SolidWorks) can open your zipped files without having to download additional software.

When i download a part i could not open it and the name is something.rar and i can't open it with SW?

This brings up a great question. Why use Win-Rar to zip the files and not just use the zip utility built into Windows and it’s the same utility that SolidWorks uses for Pack and Go. I don’t like loading unnecessary programs that do the same that I already have. Can someone explain if there is a benefit to using Win-Rar for this?

There is a shortcut in the Cut list to export DXF that is handy.

I thought about a bit more and here is an easy way. This is using a multi-body and revolved thin feature.

This is the only method I know of. This works on ANY face if you chose a face.

Here are two surfaces that I want to have a 3D curve sketch where the two intersect. In this example there are two surfaces bodies used but you can do this with any two faces (even solid bodies) that intersect.

Projected Curve: This feature will take two sketches on two different planes and project them to where they intersect to produce one 3D sketch
