milesfrankland Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Hi, Is this the best method to create a flap in sheet metal mode? I just feel its a bit long winded for such a common task. See attached. Many Thanks! Flap Fold.ipt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I didn't take time to make this exact, but you get the idea. Well, I can't seem attach tonight. Face with hole. Flange with offsets on sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD Mather Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Good, I guess you figured out expanding the dialog box to get at the Type>Offsets and changing the Relief Shape to Round. If you do a lot of sheet metal and need these "flaps" frequently - I would simplify the process even more by creating a Punch tool for the feature. You could set it up for standard sizes, a range of sizes or for any size on placement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
