Controls flat pattern treatment settings for the active sheet metal document. Changing these options once a flat pattern is generated causes a recompute of the flat pattern feature, or an update to the associative flat pattern if it was placed with the Insert Copy command. These tab options are available in the Solid Edge Sheet Metal environment.

Outside Corner Treatments

Applies the treatment to outside corners. You can specify no corner treatment, a chamfer corner treatment, or a tangent arc corner treatment.

Outside Value

Specifies the value for the outside corner treatment. This option is only available if the Outside Corner Treatments option is set to Chamfer or Radius.

Inside Corner Treatments

Applies the treatment to inside corners. You can specify no corner treatment, a chamfer corner treatment, or a tangent arc corner treatment.

Inside Value

Specifies the value for the inside corner treatment. This option is only available if the Outside Corner Treatments option is set to Chamfer or Radius.

Simplify B-splines

Specifies that any B-spline curves on the formed part are simplified to lines and arcs. B-spline curves can be created when creating cutouts across bends and when using stencil font characters.

Minimum Arc

Specifies the minimum value for the arc created from the B-spline curve.

Deviational Tolerance

Specifies the deviation tolerance for the B-spline curve.

Formed Feature Display

As Formed Feature	Displays the sheet metal features as formed features in the flat pattern.
As Feature Loops	Displays the sheet metal features as feature loops in the flat pattern. Note: The location of the feature loops is based on the punch side of the deformation feature.
As Feature Origin	Displays the sheet metal features as feature origins in the flat pattern. Note: The location of the feature origins is based on the punch side of the deformation feature.
As Feature Loops and Feature Origin	Displays the sheet metal features as feature loops with feature origins in the flat pattern.

Cut Size Default Values

Specifies the default maximum length (X) and maximum width (Y) for the flat pattern. These values appear in the Alarm section of the Flat Pattern Options dialog box.

Removed System-Generated Bend Reliefs

When you create a close corner with no relief, the system creates a very small bend relief in the 3D model. Specifies that you want to remove system-generated bend reliefs when the flat pattern is created.

Maintain Holes in the Flat Pattern

When a hole is placed on a non-orthogonal surface or angle, the resulting hole is elliptical when flattened. Creates the flat pattern with actual round holes.

Save as Flat Command

Use Existing Flat Pattern (Use Folded Model if Not Defined)	Creates the flat pattern definition based on an existing flat pattern. Any material added or removed in the flat pattern environment is included when the flat is saved. If no flat pattern exists, the folded model is used to define the pattern.
Use Folded Mold	Creates the flat pattern definition based on the folded model state, even if a flat pattern already exists. Any material added or removed in the flat pattern environment is excluded when the flat is saved.
