How to create a 'Flat Pattern' Sheet Metal feature and exclude certain
features.
Solution
Currently NX does not have the functionality to exclude certain features from
the Flat Pattern feature. However, if the features to remove are at the end of
the Part History, an extracted body can be created in order to build the Flat
Pattern.
1. Expand the Part Navigator and use 'MouseButton3-->Make Current Feature' on
the last feature to be included in the Flat Pattern.
2. Create an Extracted Body using the 'Fixed at Timestamp' option.
3. Select the Extracted Body to create the Flat Pattern feature.
The Flat Pattern created from the extracted body will not contain any features
created after the Extracted Body feature.
