ROLLED CYC. WITH TABS BENT INWARDE

ROLLED CYC. WITH TABS BENT INWARDE

(OP)
OK I'm a little embarrassed that I can not figure out how to do this so go easy on me. It seems like a pretty simple part? I tried to do one tab an add the cyc. part as a extrude to both side then do a circle pattern but it says cannot patter the base flange? I have tried adding a cutout in the cylinder then add a flange, even adding a extrude with the bend in it but still cannot get it to flatten? Here are some pics to see what what I'm trying to do.

I don't see a split in the cylinder. Is there one?

in the sheet metal part there will be this a solid part because I could not get a sheet metal part to work.

What CBL means is "Is your cylinder split once axially?"  This is a requirement for cones and cylinders in SW sheet metal.
