Tips

• You can only delete a sheet metal rule that is not currently assigned to a component. Rules assigned to sheet metal components appear in the In this design folder.

• Expressions can be set up for various variables using the rule's "Thickness" as a local variable. For example, "Relief depth = Thickness * 0.5".
