Sketch on an unfolded part

3D Design Volume Model

Hello

I want to put an annotation on a sheet metal part for laser cutting, an A B C marker...

To make the sketch containing the letter appear, I am obliged to make it on the flatpatern unfolded and

it no longer appears in the folded room!! I need this annotation on the folding plane!

How do you manage this kind of thing?

Thank you

Hi Fred,

Links to a somewhat similar question. You need to draw the sketch on your unfolded piece

and that you make the sketch appear in the small "sketch transformation" folder once your piece is unfolded!!

Or make a slight removal of material from your letter almost invisible on the thickness!

Hi Fred BE

 

in addition to @ David ........................... (lamballer... ;-)))

 

if it's a unfolded so you go through a drawing at some point

 

So why not make your annotations in your drawing?

I didn't get the link David but I found the post!! That's what I was trying to do!

Gt22, I did this for a while but the problem is that the annotation on the cutting plane doesn't automatically follow on the folding plane, and as soon as you move the view on the plane you also have to move the annotation !!!

Thank you both!! Good evening and good match :°

Small addition: if the annotation does not follow the view, it is because it is not attached to the view.

 

Make a cut and paste by selecting the view before pasting.

Thanks @ stefbeno for this supplement

indeed an annotation is linked to a view

Hello, simply used the "fold/"unfold" function and insert your annotation between the 2 functions.
