Sharps to bend?

Sharps to bend?

Sharps to bend?

(OP)
I know I can depend on you guys (you've helped me before)
We just went to Wildfire today.

Things are going pretty well, however, I may have to ask this question:  In 2001 sketcher there was an option called "sharps to bends".  I do not find that option in wildfire.  So has the "sharps to bends" tool been eliminated in WF?

Thanks in advance,
SrG

RE: Sharps to bend?

I don't remember seeing this in 2001 (it has been a while).

Was it context specific? (i.e. In Sheetmetal)

RE: Sharps to bend?

(OP)
I'm still curious about the "sharps to bend" feature that used to be in 2001.

Anyone know how to do that in the WF sketcher?

Regards,
SrG

RE: Sharps to bend?

There is no "sharps to bends" in 2001 sketcher.

Do mean a "fillet" by picking -Sketch, -Fillet, - Circular?
Is this an english version installation?

What picks do you do in 2001 to access "sharps to bends" tool?

RE: Sharps to bend?

The sharp-to-bend option appears in the Extrude wall creation dialoge box specific to Sheetmetal. You can pick Yes or No.

Is is also in the Sheetmetal / Set Up / Parameters table, its the last entry.

I am sure it also appears in WF.

Ahh, Sheetmetal and it was not "in" sketcher but the dialog box.

Heh, hardly ever use extrude in sheetmetal mostly "Flat wall" creation.

That option still in the same extrude dialog box in Wildfire2

RE: Sharps to bend?

Thanks for pointing that one out, Steve.

I usually dimension the fillets in the sketch, but it's good to know I can do this, too (since I still dimension to mold lines). More often than that, I make solids and make SMT conversions (most of my sheetmetal parts have been electronics enclosures).

I think the reason I've never seen it is because I have to scroll down in the Extrude dialog box to see the option!
