Sheet metal /w bends - projecting incorrectly and missing dims
Sheet metal /w bends - projecting incorrectly and missing dims
(OP)
I've built and re-built this little thing several times, trying to figure out the best way to solve it and I thought I had it right. However, when I make the drawing, the side projection drawing is mirrored from what it should be. I'm using American style, if that matters at all. All my other drawings project normally, only this one is doing it.
I also am not getting the bend angle information to come in. It's got it, because if I dimension the drawing the dim's are grey and have parenthasese but they aren't showing.
Have I managed to hoplessly corrupt the file by erasing back to square one and reworking?
Thanks for your help folks

RE: Sheet metal /w bends - projecting incorrectly and missing dims
As for the missing angular dim, you might have an option checked like "Show Dimensions in Veiw Created" or something, check your Properties. I don't think you have to worry about a corrupted file... yet.

However, the second one I tried, a very similar design, has projected correctly. So that's why I'm suspicious of this particular file.
I killed, reworked, rehashed, futzed and fooled with that thing so much it wouldn't surprise me if I managed to damage the file somehow. Can that happen in SolidWorks?
Thanks again,
