SolidEdge Can: Will SolidWorks do this?????
(OP)
Hello All
Please I am converting to SW from SE. How can I create this type of cutout in a SW sheetmetal part-(Notice the bent flange around the cutout).
Here:
h ttp://home .comcast.n et/~mamech i/CAD/Stee lJoist.jpg
SolidEdge uses one command "Drawn Hole" under the "Dimple" feature in the Sheet metal environment.
Please what is the SW equivalent?
Thanks for any assistance
BTW: is it possible to get Solidworks to dimension the distance between two parallel planes. Can't seem to place this dimension. Could not place the dimension in a sketch and not in 3D sketch - What gives???

If in an earlier version of SolidWorks you will have to add non-sheet metal features to create the flange. You will also not be able to flatten the part.

If in a model ... Why? Offsetting a plane creates a behind-the-scenes dimension which can be accessed by double-clicking or editing the plane feature in the FM tree.
However if you really need to, don't create a separate sketch, just add a dimension from the Annotations or Dimensions toolbar by selecting the two planes in the graphics area ... for both model or drawing. Take note though that this will be a reference (driven) dimension, NOT a driving dimension .

Still need a higher end add-on like BlankWorks for that kind of blank development.
It will get you a starting point, then you can add or subtract material with additional features to get your final blank.
