Project: HiCAD Sheet Metal

Trim Corner

Sheet Metal > Process > CutOff > Trim corner

In order to create bend zones suitable for milling, use the Trim corner function for trimming transitions with two or three bend zones in your sheet metal drawing. This creates 2 straight lines as an extension of the flange edges converging in the bend zone.

1. First, activate the icon for the amount of bend zones.
2. Then, identify the bend zones.

If you want to identify a different bend zone, click the icon for identification.

You also have the option to close sheet corners in the developed state, i.e. after a bending simulation.

If you choose Apply, the function is activated, but the dialogue box remains open - different from OK. This allows you to select other bend zones, then close the dialogue with Apply. If you exit the dialogue box with Cancel, the function is canceled without any changes. If you have ticked the Apply immediately checkbox, the entries are directly applied.
