Folding / Unfolding Rigid Flexible Circuit Boards

You can unfold the flexible board and fold it again.

Before you begin: Rigid Flex Parameters are necessary for Fold/Unfold command. Otherwise an error message appears.
  1. Open an electrical geometry (flexible board), in the Fold view:
    Important: The flexible board must be UI-active. If the command is launched on another object except a flexible board, a warning appears: 
    The current active object is not a flexible board so this command cannot be used.
  2. From the Rigid Flex section of the action bar, click Fold / Unfold a Rigid board assembly to unfold the flexible board.


    Note: Constraint areas, holes, cutouts and placed components are natively integrated in the Fold / Unfold views of the flexible board. Nevertheless the not drilled holes are not integrated to the Unfold view.
    Warning:
    • You cannot use the Fold / Unfold command of the Sheet Metal Design app for Flexible Circuit Board Design features.
  3. Click again to fold the flexible board.
