Yet another AutoCad Inventor Question...

[modular93fox]

my my my I hate inventor... mostly because Im lacking the know how. So ive managed to create a Tube structure that I can unfold. Ive also managed to get the complicated 3 cut tube laid out correctly via the CUT tool, and then inventor gives me this non sense :
Part1: Errors occurred during update
Part1 (Flat Pattern): Errors occurred during update
Definition1: Could not build this ASMFlatPattern
Modeling failure in ASM. Redefine inputs.

If I take out the top cut, leaving only 2, it will make still give error... if I remove the 2nd cut at the bottom, the bottom has 2 angles, it will be ok and no message. .. any insite? Maybe I will load up catia and play in it for a while... ?

just like the equipment at work... theres a work around for my situation... if I leave a sliver of "material", It will create the flat pattern.... no big deal as when I trace it to the tube, I will just make the line extend with the cut off wheel...and since the sliver is about .1 inch.. no biggie... its just wierd..
