I get that in the background as well. Never could figure out what the heck it is for.
-
Just glad I could finally help someone out, lol. I haven't downloaded 2018 yet, so i wasn't sure if that option was still there.

In 2017 you can go to, file-options-options, and change the theme there it may be the same in 2018?? (I haven't downloaded 2018 yet)

Here is the final product. Had to do it old school. Took me forever.

I'll look into that when I get back to work on Tuesday.

I tried that, it made the surface square and didn't keep the profile shape.
-
It's just a profile tolerance of +-.030, so hopefully I can get it in the ballpark.
-
The flat pattern I develope will be used to make a blank die, so it at least needs to fall into tolerance after it is formed.
-
That is what I am getting ready to do, create a bunch of cross section arcs and work out the math for the flat length, the create points for a splines.
-
I need to make a flat pattern that when formed will result in this shape without having to be trimmed. I wish I had access to Solidworks.

Ok I need to make a flat pattern of this part. I usually don't have a lot of trouble developing flat patterns, however this one has me stumped. It is not a constant radius but more of a conical shape. Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated. I do have a file can share if needed.

http://stackmaster.com/ Here is a link. It's a neat product, saves us a lot of time grinding off tabs. We do a lot of alum. sheet aircraft work.
-
Yep, send it up the ladder and tell them that you do not have enough information on the print to make a good part.

+1 to a vacuum fixture. Also try looking into Vilmill, it's a .010 thick heat activated adhesive fabric to help hold small parts in place on vacuum fixtures. In theory you cut through the alum. but not through the fabric underneath.

I've learned to never assume what an engineer is thinking, every time I have it has come back to bite me in the a$$. I would ask him to add a center line or give a dimension.
