SW11 Forming Tools Not Working 1

[MadMango]

Every time I try to insert a forming tool in a sheet metal model the program tries to create a derived part. I can have someone else insert a forming tool in my model and it works as expected, and I can edit the feature afterwards. What would cause my installation of SW to not recognize a forming tool feature?

Make sure the Forming Tools folder hasn't lost it's Forming Tools Folder option.

CBL= Life Saver! No idea how I unchecked that option, or how it would "lose" that setting on its own.

MadMango,
That's probably SolidWorks excercising it's AI ( Artificial Insanity)


mitja2006,
Do a revolve and then cut the end off.

I would like to do the cylinder
and then cut off ramp. I can sketch cylinder. I do not know how to cut.
I know it's funny but I want to learn
if you please tell me about the process of how to build a ramp to the top
I have SolidWorks2013
my english is not the best

thank you

Simplest way is to draw a single line representing where you want the ramp, and then use the Extruded Cut tool.

mitja2006,
See attached for an example of what you can do.

In future, please start your own thread for any questions you have.
