Hi all
Do you know if it is possible, under SW2013, to modify the sheet metal face that SW imposes when drawing the unfolded?
Our sheet metal department asks us to carry out the quotation on the protected side of the brushed stainless steel sheets and sometimes, SW gives us the wrong side, we are then forced to put "Warnings" on the plans in order to avoid a mistake.
Thank you
It's up to you to make sure to color the face protect
and to quote or re-quote on this said face

Hello
In the unfolded 3D function it is possible to choose the reference face.

OK, thank you for your answers.
In fact, you just have to edit the unfold function that solidworks automatically creates when creating the drawing and change the reference face.
Since you both gave me the correct answer, I choose one at random for the best answer...

So either by saying the unfolded function of your 3D
Expand "Unfolded state" and right-click on "Unfolded state x" to edit the function and choose the reference face.
Otherwise, in your drawing, click on your unfolded state and click on toggle view.

I don't have a "toggle view" or anything similar, either in the Property Manager or by right-clicking on the view...
Your other method is the one I applied.
Thank you.
