Hello All,
Let's try this again with my brain ingaged.

I rarely (OK almost never) do any sheet metal parts. Would some kind soul
please have a look at this and show me how to move the obvious tabs down
about 10
degrees?

Muggs -

You almost got it. Select your sketch 20, than insert/sheet metal/sketched
bends. Due to your constraint, select the last option (bends outside) and
set your angle at 10 degrees. I'm not sure what direction you mean is down,
but if you want to go the other way, you need to move the sketch to the
other surface...

Sorry, forgot to include that you need to select the surface that the sketch
is on, than select the "bends outside", and set your angle at 10 degrees..

I went after it a different way using edge flanges. I can e-mail you
the file if you wish.

 

Your welcome!

You had to use the bend outside feature because of the way you constrained
your sketch to the corner (I think - But I'm no sheet metal expert either.)

Glad I could help...
