Start a new inch part, right click on any toolbar and check the “Sheet Metal” tool for the Sheetmetal toolbar to be available.  \n2. Create a new Sketch on the front plane. Sketch a 6.00 inch square rectangle that is centered on the UCS origin. Exit Sketch  \n3. Orient your sketch to an Isometric view.  \nThe first tool on the sheet Metal toolbar is Base – Flange/Tab, we will use this to give our sketch thickness. Set the part thickness to .0747 inches (14 gage), K Factor .50 and leave Auto Relief to the default settings.  \nMark Eilers  \nSoutheast Community College Milford, NE  \n1  \n4. If you noticed there is no library of material for the K Factor and you were not prompted for the bend radius. The K Factor can be customized by Excel spreadsheets and the bend radius can be set after the part has thickness by editing the Sheet Metal feature in the browser bar. Set the bend radius to .125 inch.  \n5. Next we are going to add an Edge Flange to one of the sides of the base part. We will add a 90 degree X 2.50 inch flange, create the settings so after the flange is complete the total measurement of the flange will be 2.50 inches and the original length of 6.00 inches will increase by the sheet metal thickness.  \n6. Create another Edge Flange on an edge perpendicular to the last flange. We want to add this flange as a 90 degree X 2.50 inch with the settings set so the final flange will also be 2.50 inches tall, however; on this flange we don’t want the  \n6.00 inch base dimension to increase with the addition of material.  \nMark Eilers  \nSoutheast Community College Milford, NE  \n2  \n7. The next tool on the Sheet Metal toolbar is Miter Flange. We will create a Miter Flange on the combination of the first flange that we applied and the base feature. Create a new sketch on this face. Sketch a line that is  \n.500 inch long from the outside edge. Exit sketch.  \n8. Select the Miter Flange button and the size of the flange is selected from the sketched .500 inch line. The first edge is also selected from the edge that the line was sketched from.  \nSelect the outside edge of the bend and the far side edge of the original base feature.  \nWe will keep the material inside of the part. Turn on trim side bends and leave the gap distance to .02 inch.  \nSet the start offset to 1.00 inch and the end offset to .500 inch.  \nMark Eilers  \nSoutheast Community College Milford, NE  \n3  \nFinished part up to this point.  \nThe Auto Relief creates the cuts at a transition point based upon a ratio of the sheetmetal thickness.   \n9. The next tool on the Sheetmetal toolbar is Hem. We are going to create a hem on the flanged side of the part that we started the Miter Flange on. Create a Rolled hem on the outside edge with the material inside. Roll the hem 270 degrees and give the heman inside radius of .125 inches.  \n10. The next tool on the Sheetmetal toolbar Sketched Bend. On the .500 face of the long side of the Mitered Flange we will create a sketch for the Sketched Bend.  \nis  \nMark Eilers  \nSoutheast Community College Milford, NE  \n4  \n11. Once the sketched is complete select the Base – Flange/Tab tool on the Sheetmetal toolbar, this will give the last sketch the correct thickness based upon prior settings.  \n12. Next we need to create a sketch on this tab that will start and stop on the far edges of the tab. The sketched line can either be perpendicular to the edges or at a selected angle. I placed my line .375 inches from the miter flange. Exit sketch and select the Sketched bend tool. The first requirement is selected the Fixed Faces, then you can set the bend angle requirements.  \n13. Next we will explore the Jogged tool. Create a sketch on the same face as the last step. Exit sketch, select the Base – Flange/Tab tool and give this new tab thickness.  \nMark Eilers  \nSoutheast Community College Milford, NE  \n5  \n14. Create another new sketch on this taband sketch a line that will be used for the Jog tool.
