You may have left out an important step though. It will only be truly 1:1 if you set the K factor to 1.0, after all this is not really "sheet metal" that is stretching. The was very helpful.

I am working on a project (oh and I am teaching myself Solidworks) and I am trying to come up wit a flat pattern to wrap around a piece of 16 inch pipe. I have created the pipe and all the cuts into as well as. I have followed the instructions in the video and was able to create a flat pattern but when I measure the length of the flat pattern it comes out to 48.84" and the circumference of a 16" pipe is 50.24". I assume the shorter flat pattern is allowing for the growth that would be experienced when the flat pattern is bent. But since I am applying this to a piece of pipe my flat pattern will not make it all the way around. Am I thinking about this the right way? am I doing something wrong? Thanks Neil Thanks for the video!

I have a few questions: 1. I share your dislike of seeing planes - is there a way to create them as not visible? - I now about the option of hiding all planes - looking for a diffrent way 2. My dimmension anotations don't show up as nice as yours - and I'm not all that savy with drawing standarts - could you please share your setting for displaying annotations - appriciate it. thank you for your work - Itamar, Israel Hello SWorker,

I have a few questions:

1. I share your dislike of seeing planes – is there a way to create them as not visible? – I now about the option of hiding all planes – looking for a diffrent way

2. My dimmension anotations don’t show up as nice as yours – and I’m not all that savy with drawing standarts – could you please share your setting for displaying annotations – appriciate it.

thank you for your work – Itamar, Israel

I really enjoy video demonstrations because I always seem to pick up something from them. I wish my VAR did them as well. Thanks! I have to agree – Very nice to see a new post after so long.

Thanks for the idea. Don't take this the wrong way, but what happened to Tim? Why no posts for a year? I have only recently found this site, but it is a wealth of knowledge for new solid workers. Will there be new posts from you regularly now? Neat trick. Thanks for the idea. Don’t take this the wrong way, but what happened to Tim? Why no posts for a year?
