Is this a blind hole or thru hole ? if it is a thru hole just use a pully tap with collant and use a feed of 10 IPM and X that by your threads per inch. We tap a lot of delrin without any problems by just using standard machining practices. If this is a blind hole you will need to peck tap...

I am desigining a Sheet Metal box (.015 thk material)that will be made with a CNC Bending Machine. When I turn this into a sheet metal part using "Insert Bends" I am not sure what I can get away with on the "Bend Parameters" "Bend Radius", using .015 thk steel what would be a safe radius for...

Hi mjcole, this helped a lot, I went to Tools/Sketch Tools/ Modify and told it 180 deg and it rotated the form tool where I wanted it and worked perfect. before this I tried to mirror the form tool and did not work. Thanks for your help. Thanks, Steve Olathe, KS

You will not Regret this move, I had a High dollar Radeon card to begin with and was not able to do anything in solidworks, the graphics did not work right and was unable to do much of anything. After putting in the Nvida card it was like night from day.

I did edit the sketch, I mirrored it but went right back to where it was and did not change after I exited the sketch.

I place a form Tool on my part but need to rotate it 180 deg. How do I do this? Thanks Steve

so are we saying that solidworks can not make this part. this is a first for me, I have been able to model any thing in solidworks, I thought it had no limitations until now.

the more I think about it I understand what you mean, I can use the form tool in the flat state just so I can get a drawing

will I do this in the flat state or in the bended state, when I do this will it show the formed holes in the flat state? I am kind of puzzled why solidworks does not support the form tools in the flat state, when I am building this part in the real word (in the shop) I need to use form tools...

I would not use a Integrated graphics card (on board), you may want to change the graphics card one day. I have found that radeon graphic cards do not work well with solidworks, you need a Nvdia graphics card, I am using the Nvdia Quadro 500/FX600 and is working very well, they are not cheap but...

solidworks 2008 This is a combustion chamber for a model jet engine. I am drawing the outer tube for this assembly. I can flatten the part and get the basic holes in the part, I then used the form tools (when flattened) to get the holes and vents that need formed. The problem is when I bend it...
