Sheet Metal > Further functions

In the Further functions function group you can find various functions for adjusting or processing of sheets, bend zones and flanges.

If you directly activate a sheet via right-click, these functions will appear in a context menu, and no identification of the sheet will be necessary.

Further functions

Sheet --> Solid, Active sheet

Converts the active sheet with flanges and bend zones into one single solid.

During conversion of an itemized sheet into a solid the item number and the BOM-relevance will be transferred.

Pull-down menu

FromSheet

Sheet --> Solid, Select sheet

Converts selected sheets with flanges and bend zones into one single solid. During conversion of an itemized sheet into a solid the item number and the BOM-relevance will be transferred.

Sheet --> Solid, All sheets

Converts all sheets in the model drawing into one single solid. During conversion of an itemized sheet into a solid the item number and the BOM-relevance will be transferred.

Please note:

This function can also be found on the Simplify Ribbon tab.

Fold flange

Pull-down menu Extras

Welded corner

Clean up intersections

Icon

Text position on development

Bend zone tooling

Overbend table

You can insert the overbend table with the bend radii and bend angles into your drawing. To do this, define a fitting point for the table.

In the first two columns you can find the bend radius ri and the bend angle alpha, which you have set for attaching in the technology parameters.

In the last two columns you can find the values for the production of the sheet. They are material-dependent .

Pre-set allowance method

Update H2 Sheet

When loading older Sheet Metal model drawings (HiCAD 2) a message will be displayed, announcing that the old sheets will be converted. If you do not want this, you can use this function to convert the sheets manually.

Identify the base sheet and confirm the message Current sheet! with OK.
