SHEET METAL PARTS IN DESIGN TABLE

jamesh8448 · Sep 24, 2003

Does anyone know how to create right and left sheet metal parts in a design table? In other words, is there a way to reverse the direction of an edge flange to create right and left parts in a design table? I work with machinery that is basically symmetrical about a central plane. The side frames have many cutouts, but they are basically identical with the exception of the flange directions. They are so large that they have to be split into several parts because of material length availability, which creates more complexity.

I don't think this can be done in a design table (at least not easily).

What I usually do is mirror the part.

No you can' reverse direction in a DT. You can only control size not direction.

As for a mirror you could do a mirror body command.
