Displaying Sketch Dimensions in the Flattened State

To display sketch dimensions in flattened state:

  1. Create a sheet metal part that includes a sketch with dimensions on a face.

  2. Flatten the model.
  3. In the FeatureManager design tree, under Flat-Pattern , expand Sketch Transformation FM_folder.gif.
  4. Double-click the derived sketch to display the dimensions in a flattened state.
