Ok, I see I was missing a few steps. I tried it again and it worked this time. Thanks for your help, Patrick!

Hmm, I tried both ways, but for some reason, I couldn't get them to work for me. I finally opened the DWG file in draft and just copied the drawing profile and pasted it into the reference frame for protrusion in the part function. Seems to work this way. Thanks for the helpful advice!

Is there a way I can transfer a profile drawn in AutoCAD v2004 to SE v15 to be protruded?

Thanks donyoung! I was looking for a feature or control that allowed me to apply a different bend. I should've thought to look at the obvious!

Is there a way to put bends with different radii on the same contour flange? I drew the side profile, which is similar to a "z". I need one of the bends to be R0.05 and the other to be R0.11. So far, they both default to the set value, but I want to be able to set each one separately. I'm...

That's exactly what I was looking for. Great advice! Thanks so much for your help donyoung!

I need to rapid prototype parts I created in Solid Edge (V15) but the ASM parts that I created won't work. The rapid prototyping software separates the pieces of the assembly even though I need them to stay merged together. I tried saving them as IGS or STP files, but it doesn't help. I see...

Thanks cadsman, for the great resource. That was exactly what I needed. Thanks to all for the good advice and tips!

I'm not sure if I would be able to make it appear as if the rib was stamped out of the material rather than extra material that was added in to reinforce the bend.

That's exactly the way I ended up putting it in. It works, so I'll stick with it. Thanks for the advice on flattening the part. Thanks for your help, beachcomber!

I have a sheet metal part with a few bends that I would like to have reinforced with offset bracing stamped into the bends. Essentially, it would be like taking a wide and flat tool and offsetting the material perpendicular to the bend. Is there a simple way to model this?

Oh well, I'll make do with the way it is. Thanks to all for your help!

I tried the Ctrl and Shift key with all the buttons on my mouse, but it doesn't seem to work on my system. I'm using v15, could that be the reason? I'm able to use Ctrl and Shift with the mouse wheel in the other environments and I'm comfortable with it. Is there a setting for Draft that I'm...

It's not the best, but it certainly helps! Much appreciated!

Is there a way to set the mouse wheel and button to pan and zoom on the screen for draft mode the same way as in modeling mode?
