Solid Edge Unable to pattern across a bend in Synchronous sheetmetal

Summary


Details

I have a Synchronous sheet metal part with a Cutout that cuts through a tab and 
an adjacent flange. When I try to pattern the cutout using 'Pattern along 
curve' and selecting the edge of the bend between the tab and the flange as the 
curve, the operation fails with the message 'Errors detected no patterns were 
created'. Why is this?



Solution

 It is currently it is not possible for patterns to cut bends in a Synchronous 
sheet metal part. 


The workaround is to create the Cutout in Ordered mode and then pattern the 
feature there.
