Hi all
I`m familiarizing myself with the sheet metal part of Solidworks
I made a test part thats 100mm wide and 50mm high ...extruded it....then added a 15mm flange....then flattened the part
question....the 2 lines at the radius....I`m assuming that is the bend allowance?..if so that's nice to know but does the software have other helpful tools to recreate that bend in the real world at the bending brake?
Can the software add the sight line/other assistance to the human fabricator....or do I have to work that out and add that line myself? I'm trying to find out how far the software goes after the flatten command...if what I see here is as far as it goes and i work it out from there
Thanks
Michael
