Sheet metal forming tools

Sheet metal forming tools

Sheet metal forming tools

(OP)
Does anyone know where I could go to get a tutorial on how to use the sheet metal forming tools?

I tried using the help but it didn't help me.

I am trying to insert a rib onto a part and all it does is ask me if want to make a derived part.

When I try, I goto design library, browse to forming tools, open ribs, and drag the rib I want onto the surface of the part.

RE: Sheet metal forming tools

RMB click on the forming tools folder and select Forming Tolls Folder.

cheers

RE: Sheet metal forming tools

To expound on CBL's post...
By RMB on the form tools folder and selecting Forming Tools from the drop down menu, you will then be able to drag and drop forming tools. Why it isn't the default setting is beyond me.
