How would I form sheet metal using an assembly file for the shape?

[michaelpc]

I have a semi-complex assembly file that I would like to push into a thermoplastic sheet to make a loose mold. Is that something I can simulate in Solidworks?

Thanks much!

Import your assembly as a dumb solid and trace the shape, this will only work with single plane curves, compound curves do not work in Sheet metal.

You are judged not by what you know, but by what you can do.

Makes sense, thanks for the help.
