Circular jog

Circular jog

(OP)
Is it possible in a sheet metal part to create a jog in a circular layout?

I have a sheet of aluminum with a cylinder located in the center with 6 mounting holes, and I'd like to jog the aluminum around the cylinder about 1/4."  

PS I can certainly do straight line jogs - that's easy as pie, so would I have to do a series of straight line jogs in order to complete the circle?

RE: Circular jog

You would probably have to use a Forming Feature, not a Jog.  A jog in real life would deform the material and yield unequal material thicknesses, something that SW won't model in Sheet Metal.
