toptron 13_develop 2d solid surfaces 3d

Hello everyone!
First of all, I introduce myself: I am an architect, of the kind architect who arranges to do everything! and before you submit my question I thank you, because many times you have solved my doubts and questions before I enrolled in the forum!
Recently, in search of work, I helped family friends, owners of a factory of soles and heels, with the software toptron 13 (almost old man, I know!) used for the realization of aluminum molds...as you can imagine for me it was very complicated to pass from autocad 2011 to the old summittron 13!
However with great difficulty I managed to unseen the software, except some points.
one of these is the object of my question: What is the command of the Toptron 13 English version to be able to develop a three-dimensional surface on a two-dimensional plane in order to get the real dimensions and geometry?

Thank you in advance all those who will answer me!

I'm sorry for you but it's a function that toptron it 13 never had. The only thing you can do is to adjust curves from one surface to another. to do this you have to use toptron and version 9 on. passing by autocad to toptron must have been a nightmare. worse than going from toptron it to toptron e. Of course that technologically and in terms of job development and speed with summit 13 this small company and back of at least 10 years, it seems to me a miracle that still manages to resist in this market so competitive.

Good luck.

Thank you very much, for your support... I was going crazy! I was sure he had this function and I was unable to find it!... meanwhile I made up using rhino 4.0 just to do this and then go back to toptron.
Yes, it is true...the company is back at least 10 years, however with huge efforts, especially in this period of crisis, manages to move forward.. .
Thank you!

Hi, ..to keep in mind that if we talk about simple surfaces such as a cylinder or a linear extrusion of a curve, everything ok, but if the face you have to develop is double curvature you will get a contour with a certain error since these surfaces are not developable

the contour is laid on a wavy surface only along a board. I don't know if my description is exhaustive... so it should be developable and there should be no mistakes except a minimum of tolerance...right?

That's right. If we talk about a surface of this type, such as a 2d curve extruded along a direction, development is accurate.
you can have confirmation simply by measuring the length of the sides of the surface that must be equal to the developed ones.

Thank you! In fact, it's just so...
