SmUnfold

Settings

Allows to override the default unfolding settings.

Prompts you:

Select [lofted bend Tolerance/Form feature behavior] <Form feature behaviour> - select an option.

• Lofted bend tolerance: Allows to specify the tolerance for lofted bends.
  Prompts you:
  Set tolerance for lofted bends straight edges determination - type a value.

• Form feature behavior:  Allows to modify the value of the SMFORMFEATUREUNFOLDMODE system variable.
  Prompts you:
  Select form feature behaviour [Keep/Remove/Project/Contour/Symbol] <Symbol> - select an option.

• Keep: Keeps the form features geometry on the unfolded representation.

• Remove: Removes the form features geometry from the unfolded representation.

• Project: Generates a form feature symbol by projecting the form feature edges on the flange plane.

• Contour: Generates a form feature symbol by projecting an external contour and holes of the form feature on the flange plane.

• Symbol: Copies the unfold symbol on  layer UNFOLD_SYMBOL_UP or layer UNFOLD_SYMBOL_DOWN depending on the form feature direction) to the unfolded representation.

Keep

Places the unfolded 3D solid in the current drawing.
