Boundary area of a flat pattern
- [Instructor] On this CSWPA sheet mill exam multiple times, more than likely, you're gonna have to figure out what the bounding box area is of your part. So I'm gonna use this part right here and go ahead and flatten that out. Now as soon as I flatten that out, there's two different ways you can do this. One, is you can just use the measuring tool and just measure the length of this line out here. Write that one down. Measure the length of this line over here. And then multiply them together to figure out what the area is. However, there's an easier way. Over here under Cut List click on the drop down. Right click on this Sheet one. And click on Properties. And it actually does all the math for you. So look over here under bounding box area. You'll notice it's a linkable value. And here is the bounding box area and you can just go ahead and just type that right in for the final answer.
