Sheet Metal Edgebreak - No Internal Corners - No Select Filter - %#^&!

Discussion in 'SolidWorks' started by Sean-Michael Adams, Apr 3, 2004.

  1. Snipped from one of many ER's that try to address this problem:

    ----------------------------------------------

    I suggest a new feature to allow edgebreaks on internal corners of
    sheet metal. The modeler badly needs this functionality. Instead of
    a whole new function, maybe the existing edgebreak could actually be
    modified to include INTERNAL corners. These are the corners on the
    inside of a given profile.
    (come on people. the existing edgebreak is pretty dysfucntionl as it
    does not allow for internal corners to be broken).

    Or even better, just implement a selection filter that only picks up
    edges that are the sheet metal thickness and dispense with the whole
    nightware (typo but it fits here) of zoom in - select - zoom out -
    zoom in select another - zoom out - zoom in to select a third edge -
    zoom out - zoom in to select a fourth edge - darn it selected a
    surface - deselect the surface - select the edge - zoom out - zoom in
    - select another edge - darn I picked a "non-thickness" edge - &$&^@!
    i just wish the programmers at solidworks would realize that I need
    to select edges that are sheetmetal-thickenss only, nothing else. Why
    can't they just get it for once an impelement the filter Hmmm maybe an
    enhancement request.

    PLEASE implement this. It's getting really old.
    ------------------------------------------------

    Anyone else bugged by this obviously anemic feature as much as I am?
