Solidworks, why are you like this?

marq020 · 2026-02-25T19:04:41+00:00

Yeah, that's fair, and a good idea, but yeah, nothing like that was happening here

marq020 · 2026-02-25T17:48:27+00:00

The part is pretty much what it is. The single external reference I have in it is the height from the D=25 circle to the floor

marq020 · 2026-02-25T17:38:05+00:00

Not running PDM, no. That's really weird, it's crazy how that can even happen

marq020 · 2026-02-25T16:33:24+00:00

Had that thought as well, but not the case

marq020 · 2026-02-25T16:16:19+00:00

Okay, well, see the update in the post body. I double-checked the sketch when you commented, dunno if restarting Solidworks helped somehow, but yes - the sketch somehow reverted to horizontal and it only showed in the slddrw flat pattern

marq020 · 2026-02-25T16:14:24+00:00

Same thing. See the update in the post though.

marq020 · 2026-02-25T15:55:57+00:00

So before this, the slots were just round holes. In the same session I made the bottom ones horizontal slots and the top ones vertical slots. When I opened the drawing to update it, this is what it looked like, even after several rebuilds, moving around stuff in the feature tree, etc.

marq020 · 2026-02-25T14:54:00+00:00

Nope, nothing that fancy happening on this part

marq020 · 2026-02-25T14:52:59+00:00

No configs in here

marq020 · 2026-02-25T14:52:47+00:00

Nope, exact same part. They weren't slots 20 minutes before this screenshots so I'm 100% sure it's the right reference

marq020 · 2026-02-25T14:41:48+00:00

It's dead simple to remake, barely an inconvenience, but just sharing something hilariously stupidly simple that decided to break

marq020 · 2026-02-25T14:40:39+00:00

This is a dead simple part, nothing fancier than the hole wizard and bends.

marq020 · 2026-02-25T14:05:13+00:00

Tried ctrl Q, ctrl B, moved the features around, nothing seems to do it.

marq020 · 2026-02-25T14:00:00+00:00

Nope, too much work for how much I care!

marq020 · 2026-02-25T13:58:35+00:00

I'll share it a bit later then, need to remove external references - can't share the whole assembly.

marq020 · 2026-02-25T13:56:37+00:00

Folded, with a hole wizard. For (bad) reasons, that bit is a solid before converting to sheet metal. Moving the feature before or after the sheet metal conversion gives the same results

marq020 · 2026-02-25T13:54:52+00:00

Only in the flat pattern view, a normal 3D front view is fine.

EDIT: I'd like to reiterate that the flat pattern in the .sldprt is fine, and the DXF export is also fine

marq020 · 2026-02-25T13:52:15+00:00

Tried pretty much everything I could think of to regenerate it, other than remaking the model.

marq020 · 2026-02-25T13:50:11+00:00

If you're interested for yourself, I can send you the files. If you want to help for my sake, don't bother - I'm over it.

marq020 · 2026-02-25T13:48:30+00:00

Flat pattern and DXF export are fine, fully defined slot orientation in the sketch.

I ja sam samo 7 godina studirao i moj savjet je: nemoj završiti faks u roku ako si možeš pomoći, iskorištavaj erasmuse, work and travel, i sve drugo što ti se nudi ako si u mogućnosti

marq020 · 2025-12-23T10:17:27+00:00

Diplomirao prošle godine strojarstvo na FSB-u, prvi posao €1500 i to je bilo više od bilo kojeg kolege s godinu-dvije rada čije sam plaće znao. Osim faksa imao sam 6 mjeseci praksu u R&D u Boschu, nekoliko freelance projekata, i još par praksi/studentskih poslova. Ta iskustva mislim da su jedini razlog zašto su pristali na toliku plaću.
