Hi Community,
we have done some enhancements to the Convert to Sheet Metal functionality. Some of the enhancements are:
1) Option to keep body. This will allow you to create several sheet metal bodies from one solid body.
2) Options to display callouts while you are in the command. It will hopefully help you to control the proliferated number of callouts while you are in the command.
3) Option to define a general rip type but also the ability to control individual rips. Like a Closed Corner command inside of the Convert to Sheet Metal command.
4) Option to use bend tables, gauge tables, bend calculation tables while you create the feature.
I would like to get some feedback about these enhancements. Whether they are useful for your workflows, how it will / will not help you to create your design. Or if there is anything missing in order to make it 'really useful' for you.
Thank you in advance for your time and effort.
Kind Regards
