In this tutorial, you capture and manipulate the following sheet metal characteristics using sheet metal styles:
- Complete material definition
- Bend relief shape and size
- Bend radius value
- Bend transition type
- 2-bend corner relief type and size
- 3-bend corner relief type and size
Various style types, or style categories, control sheet metal characteristics. The style types, when taken together, create a composite style that determines the characteristics of a sheet metal part. You can apply styles locally to the active part, or you can save new styles and style edits to the Style Library to share the styles.
Objectives
- Create new styles.
- Save the styles to the Style Library.
- Use Sheet Metal Defaults to apply styles to a sheet metal part.
