For sheetmetal parts sometimes we need to make micro-jointsin holes to hold the scrap of the hole on the part duringlasercutting and bending. These scrap is removed during theassemble of the part
These micro-joints are for example 4 pieces of 0.4 mm width for 1round hole.
(see picture).
We used to make these micro-joints manually in DWG-editor,
but I wonder if there is a way to do this in SW 3d?
What I need is 4 segment lines (not double lines) for 1 round hole.
I've tried to do this with surfacing, but I can not cut thesurfaces from the Solid, because the surface is inside thesolid.(see pictures)
Who can give me some advice to do this in 3D?
Thanks for every hint.
