The Sketch Driven Pattern is complete. Suppress the patterns

when not required for future model development.

Utilize the Suppress option with configurations to save the

formed and flat state of the CABINET.

CABINET-Formed and Flat States

How do you control the 30 formed state in the assembly and

the 2D flat state in the drawing? Answer: Utilize

configurations. A configuration is a variation of a part or

assembly within a single document. Variations include

different dimensions, features, and properties.

The BOX assembly requires the CABINET in the 30 formed

state. Utilize the Default Configuration in the assembly.

The CABINET drawing requires the 2D flat state. The drawing requires a view with the

Linear Pattern of square cuts and the random sketch pattern suppressed. Create a new

configuration named NO-VENT. Suppress the patterns. Create a Derived configuration

named NO-VENT-FLAT. Un-suppress the Flat Pattern feature to maintain the CABINET

in its flat state. Create two configurations in the 3D formed and 2D flat state.
