Hi there, I am working on a cylindrical packaging(its a circular strip) and I need to get the cutting guide for it. Is there anyway in evolve to get the actual flat projection of a curved surface(real size) so I can use the outline of it to get my cutting guide

thanx

    Hello,

    try to extract your boundary curves and project them perpendicular to a flat surface. See the following picture.

    Hopefully it helps.

    Best regards,

    Mario
