I've just recently started using sheet metal and have beenlooking at the design library to create forming tools (alot of whatwe do is repetitive sheet metal features; bridges, bayonets andtabs, of differing dimensions....).
In looking at the design library, it's awesome the way the featuresdrag and drop into a part but they come in as a single feature. Isthere anyway to create theses forming tools as basic "startingpoint" tools that can be drag and drop and then modified to createthe feature I want?
I also looked at the file location of the forming tools (they arelocal, not networked)
As mentioned earlier, parts can be checked in but the forming toolcomes as a single feature.
If I network the tool the resulting feature will change if the toolis changed, correct?SolidworksSheet Metal
