Creo Sheet Metal Layout Tutorial and Assignment(s)
        Written Tutorial: Sheet Metal Tutorial Layout
                  See Mr. Jourden for Demo
        Assignment: Parts Layout
                  Solid Model: Design
                      Click Unbend to create flat pattern
                      Create a Simp Rep (Under View > Manage Views) that EXCLUDES the UNBEND from the model tree.
                  Layout: Place the folded out pattern  (Dimension as Ordinate)
                      Place orthographic views and place Auxiliary Views where necessary
                      Place centerlines on the folded out pattern.  This represents the neutral bend.  Place a Ordinate dimension referencing these folds.
                      Dimensioning: dimension from a known datum (egde). DO NOT place dimensions from the fold lines
                      Dimensioning: May dimension on both Orthographic views and folded out layout views.
