SHEET METAL QUESTION

SHEET METAL QUESTION

SHEET METAL QUESTION

(OP)
I am trying to create tabs on a piece of sheet metal that will be used to hold a piece in place during welding.  I am trying to place these tabs on a radius as shown in the picture below.  I do not know how I can create these and have them show up on the flat pattern.  Could anyone tell me if this is possible.

Brian,
Your file doesn't seem to be working. Can you upload it again?

I don't know what's happening but, when I click on the link, it takes me to mooload's upload page and not your file.

Insert an "Unfold" feature.

Create a tab on the top surface of the flat part.

Insert an "Fold" feature.

Thanks I can not believe that I could not remember how to do that.  It has been awhile sense I last worked on some sheet metal.  A star for you.
