Previously, multibody sheet metal parts were required to share a single thickness. The rules now let you define a unique thickness for each body.
Support Multiple Thickness and Rules
- Face
- Contour Flange
- Lofted Flange
- Contour Roll
In the create dialog box, clear the Follow Defaults checkbox and then click the drop-list to specify a unique material thickness and rules from the predefined list. When you select Follow Defaults, the thickness and rules are determined by the active standard.
When you mouse over a solid body in the browser, a tooltip displays the active rule for the body.
You can right-click a solid body in the browser and select the new Set Sheet Metal Rule context menu command to modify the rules and body thickness.
