Is there any way to export a feature (hole,cut...)as a block in a solidworks drawing.

Thanks Mr Pickles, I'll try that. Yjeepster - I know what you mean. We have been bending parts here for 25 years and I am discovering now that some of these bends are theoretically impossible. However I do always try to use the new sheet metal features as I go along because changing all to sheet...

Thanks, that appears to do the trick.

We use Radan for the CAM side of our sheet metal factory. We used to use Radan 2D to do our flat patterns etc but now we have upgraded to Solidworks. Some of my models are quite big so flat patterns are often drawn on sheets at scales of 1:20. However when I export to .dxf or .dwg I cannot not...

Yjeepster - You are right about the material thickness. If you are using equations or design sheets that allow material to change it is absolutley critical that your model is built in a way that allows the material thickness to be increased in the correct direction. Bend Deduction is the...

That is correct. I had a similar query back a year ago and my vendor said that it couldn't be done. SW Explorer can only find drawing of the assembly and not that parts that make up the assembly.

The most important thing to do when modelling sheet metal parts is to have your bend radius, allowance or deduction values correct. By the way for any of you thinking of using a bend deduction table with metric values I think you will find that there is none included with the package. Even...

Sure. At home I have windows ME at work Windows 2000.

Thanks for the reply but does doing it that way not a problem too in that if you move or rotate the model will the Drawing not change too. If so then that will be a big problem. Is there no way we can click on front or back view... etc

We operate a WAN in our company (may have nothing to do with the problem though) The ability to save edrawings as .html is a excellent feature however if i try and send this as an attachment to someone within our company i run into trouble. When the attachment is launched the IE6 window opens...

Hello all, Our sheet metal company can produce pieces with embosses on either side of the sheet. It is necessary for us to show these in drawings to our shop floor. When i create a named view and select a flat pattern i get a view of one side of the sheet. However I would also like a view of...
