Lazer Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 The file you have attached (the box with no lid) has no problem? I pressed the flat pattern and it worked no problem. Edit, post a screen shot of what the problem is so we can have a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right click "Edit Folded" to return... KC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
