Creating Sheet Metal Flat Patterns That Can Be Used with the Autodesk Fusion 350 Arrange Command

The Fusion 360 Nesting Utility did a nice job of arranging sheet metal flat patterns for cutting in the manufacturing environment.  When the Nesting Utility became a paid extension some wanted to use the Arrange command to accomplish the same task but quickly found out that the Arrange command would not recognize flat patterns.  This video will show a method of creating sheet metal flat patterns for use with the Arrange command. This process can be used on both sheet metal bodies and components.

NOTE: The Arrange command is not available in Autodesk Fusion 360 with a Personal license.
