How to thicken sheetmetal in the sketch?
(OP)
Hi all,
Tried to do a search but couldn't find this particular question, so apologies if its been asked before.
I'm totally new to SolidWorks, have been driving Pro/E for 8 years though. In sheetmetal mode, is there a way to thicken the sketch? I need some controlling dimensions from the outside edge on one form to an inside edge of another form on the same continuous piece of metal. Ergo, I need SWs to thicken the 1 line sketch so that I can place these dimensions. Also, I'd like to do this so I can have varing radii on the bends, independent of the bend radius setting and thickness of the part.
Thanks!
