I am trying to cut through a bend, and then unroll. I've created a sheet metal tube. I am passing another tube through that one.
While in bent form on tube one, I extrude cut for the clearance hole to pass tube two. When I choose to flatten tube one, I get an ellipse, which is what I want. But, the sides are not perpendicular. Depending on the angle in relation to the center of the unbend, determines how non perpendicular it is.
I am trying to create a flat dxf for laser cutting, but am unable. Any suggestions?
This image is looking straight down on the flattened part. The ellipses are offset, and I would like them to not be.View attachment 5854
