Having not found a solution to my problem for a few days, I come to ask you my question. I am currently working on the design of doors (interior, offices, etc.). Solidworks models previously existed in my company.
I noticed that some models had a very particular conflict. The frame (the outer part around the door that houses the door) is made up of three pieces of folded sheet metal, not attached. These three parts are then drilled and/or punched.
The problem arises once some parts are unfolded, which is a problem for my drawing: Two parts distinguished in design, sheet metal and volume have the same unfolded state name and the same bend and visualization cube lines.
I redesigned one or two parts, taking care not to put a relationship between the three parts and isolating the drilling functions on their respective parts.
You will find attached an image illustrating my problem.
For each component symmetry, they must be named with proper names
right and left pillar and re-dimensioned each element very distinctly
And then you can create families of parts that include the sash and the frame whether it is right or left pull and this can be set via the size of the sash
Indeed, the profile of my right pillar has a symmetrical sketch to that of the left. However, the problem is reflected in the crossmember which folds up after each save of my drawing (in the drawing) despite the fact that it is marked "Flat". I am forced to work in multi-body in a single part, because the latter is controlled by a family of parts via Excel. The real problem is why these folded parts end up sharing the same unfolded state and the same visualization cubes and fold lines. They are linked when the state or display state is changed (configurations, drawing, etc.).
Even when I rename them, one ends up renaming the other (since they are considered the same at this point). Controlling via Excel is not a problem. I'm going to try the gt22 solution, but I think I'll have to redesign everything. Indeed, even by going up, renaming the symmetries and receiving the elements one by one, the sheet metal will take over and keep these states unfolded.
When I unfold one of the two parts, the unfolded state of the other becomes also active, but neither of them is really unfolded, only one of the two parts appears, and one of the two unfolded states is impassable, in constant reconstruction (traffic light next to it) and is impossible to remove momentarily.
Bart, you will find the composition to take with you attached.
Hello and thank you all for your efforts. Indeed, checking the box works from time to time, but after saving the drawing, one of the two pieces tends to fold up.
What I have a problem with in the end is why from a certain moment two unfolded states of two distinct pieces will find themselves sharing the same name and the same sketches, knowing that I have made sure not to put any relationship between these pieces, or very little.
I remade a model (partition and sheet metal only) yesterday and there I had no problem. Whereas two months ago, I also remade a model in the same way, and I had the problems that my predecessor had and that I submitted to you.
