Do sheet metal forming tools work in basic solidworks? If so, how? Thanks, -- John Kimmel www.metalinnovations.com "Cuius testiculos habes, habeas cardia et cerebellum." - When you have their full attention in your grip, their hearts and minds will follow.
Yes it works with basic solidworks also. You can search in help topics for getting the information. Also in the deisgn library you can find some form tools already there for use. check them also. Regards Deepak
Solidworks released it in v 2006. I have put a Power Point presentation, made by Avelino Arochino, of Solidworks, on my Web Site for you. I was present at his presentation at the Symposium in Lowell Mass, this past Summer. You can get it at... www.deangelistool.com/help/sheetmetal.zip Good luck, G.

Thanks, that had the information I needed. SW help didn't have the information about saving as a "*.sldftp" file, and don't think that basic Solidworks has a design library. -- J Kimmel www.metalinnovations.com "Cuius testiculos habes, habeas cardia et cerebellum." - When you have their full attention in your grip, their hearts and minds will follow.
No, basic SolidWorks does have a design library. I've hardly ever used it and they've changed locations and such since I did, so I can't help you find it, but it is there, somewhere. Jerry Steiger Tripod Data Systems "take the garbage out, dear"
Thanks, that had the information I needed. SW help didn't have the turn on the "task pane", design library is the middle icon (stacked books).
OK, the task pane has this little thumbtack in it. If you click on the thumbtack, the task pane locks open. Then you can adjust the width of the task pane so that with the thumbtack in, it's all the way closed. That way, if you click on one of the tabs, nothing happens. I just found this out. -- J Kimmel www.metalinnovations.com "Cuius testiculos habes, habeas cardia et cerebellum." - When you have their full attention in your grip, their hearts and minds will follow.
