Refold sketch with sheet metal feature

Working in a folded sheet metal model that has:

• at least one Unfold feature in the unfolded state
• at least one sketch created on the face of an unfolded feature

use the Refold command to refold one or more sheet metal bends or rolls relative to a reference face. The Refold command adds a Refold feature to your sheet metal part browser. Following a Refold feature (in the browser history) you can add other features to the folded model. A Refold feature can only be added to sheet metal models which contain an Unfold feature in an unfolded state.

Sketches created on unfolded faces can be selected and copied to the refolded face. The original sketch can remain displayed or can optionally be removed from display. Copied sketches are shown in the browser as children of the refold feature.

On the ribbon, click Sheet Metal tab Modify panel Refold . Click a face or plane to be used as the Refold reference. Click individual highlighted bends or rolls to refold. Optionally, use Add All Bends to select all the geometry highlighted. Preview the refolded state and add or delete bends or rolls to obtain the desired folded model state. Click the Sketches arrow to allow sketch selection. Select unconsumed sketches that you would also like to refold. Optionally, check or uncheck Parent is Visible to display or not display the parent sketch following the refold. Click OK.
