S.2 Solid to Sheet Metal - Inventor 2017 Sheet Metal Training

[@hsyn.mo4]

Hi sir
to rotate should be press F3 or there is a easy way also to rotate in assembly for a body

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

You mean to rotate a part or the complete assembly?

[@hsyn.mo4]

@@wolfgang.walden.cad.training in solidworks I can rotate a part indepently by right click on part but i cant in inventor also to rotate a part I ever hold F3. is there a easy way? TX

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

Ok I see, if you select a part and make a right click, there is the "free rotate" command in the drop down menu.

[@Lobster1000]

That is exactly what I was looking for! Thank You Wolfgang. The trick with the offset sketch was very helpful to get the bends right!

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

Great :) - you´re welcome

[@EvilTodd24]

See that convert to sheet metal icon in your upper right "convert" ribbon?

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

LOL - that is something different - you can´t convert a solid like this (or similar) into sheet metal.

[@ottesoja]

Great stuff!! Using this technique out here in North Carolina, USA

[@travisnguyen1475]

new approaching method. Thank alot Wolfgan Walden.

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

You´re welcome

[@ChuckKarl525]

This one is a bit closer to what I am looking for.

[@afrykanerPL]

You can extrude skretch as surface model. Without saveing and converting it.

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

I know, but this isn´t the purpose of this exercise.

[@PrestonK92]

Great stuff thank you.

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

You´re welcome

[@sevenssable]

Nice work around👍but autodesk need to get in to the game 😅 this can be done with 1 sketch and 2 features in solidworks..

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

Quite right ;)

[@michaelhuggins6545]

Our sheet metal team have been asked if they are happy with changing to Inventor for whatever reason.. This video will help with our reasons not to change. Thanks for the video :)

[@puneetbharti1083]

nice video

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

Thx!

[@glennvanant6492]

very helpful thank you

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

You´re welcome.

[@abhijith7765]

sketching again the complicated solids is time consuming!!! or impossible!!

[@wolfgang.walden.cad.training]

LOL - you can´t turn every solid model into sheet-metal. This is only meant for solid-models which could be turned into sheet-metal.
