    Sheet metal /w bends - projecting incorrectly and missing dims

    Thank you, I will go and check every dimension setting I can find. I don't think it's the 3rd angle setting being whacky because it isn't in any other drawing I've made with this drawing and part format. Although... come to think of it, this is the first sheet metal I've tried. However, the...

    Sheet metal /w bends - projecting incorrectly and missing dims

    I've built and re-built this little thing several times, trying to figure out the best way to solve it and I thought I had it right. However, when I make the drawing, the side projection drawing is mirrored from what it should be. I'm using American style, if that matters at all. All my other...

    sheet metal, flat sketch modification question

    sheet metal, flat sketch modification question

    I'm very new to Solidworks and trying to figure out how to do some sheet metal work. I decided to play with corner variations, and while I know how to SHELL and RIP which will give me a simple sheet metal box with butted edges I decided I wanted a more finished corner and would like to add a...
