    Hi all,
    I've just put some louvers in a sheet metal enclosure I'm designing.
    When I unsuppress the flat pattern command in the history tree the
    louvers still show in the flat pattern part. Shouldn't the louvers
    command be suppressed at the same time to produce a true flat
    pattern?
    (I've patterned and mirrored the forming command which adds more
    complexity to the design history.)
    thanks,
    David

    define true.

    if the louvers are formed in the turret then they should be included in the
    flat.
    if you are you doing the louvers in press brake then yes they should be
    suppressed.
