SW11 Forming Tools Not Working

SW11 Forming Tools Not Working

SW11 Forming Tools Not Working

(OP)
Every time I try to insert a forming tool in a sheet metal model the program tries to create a derived part. I can have someone else insert a forming tool in my model and it works as expected, and I can edit the feature afterwards. What would cause my installation of SW to not recognize a forming tool feature?

CBL= Life Saver! No idea how I unchecked that option, or how it would "lose" that setting on its own.

RE: SW11 Forming Tools Not Working

I would like to do the cylinder
and then cut off ramp. I can sketch cylinder. I do not know how to cut.
I know it's funny but I want to learn :)
if you please tell me about the process of how to build a ramp to the top
I have SolidWorks2013
my english is not the best :)

thank you

RE: SW11 Forming Tools Not Working

Simplest way is to draw a single line representing where you want the ramp, and then use the Extruded Cut tool.

RE: SW11 Forming Tools Not Working

first go through the tutorials located under help-tutorials.
