I am trying to fold the attached sheet metal part that is created from an imported ACAD drawing. After cleaning up the sketch I created the face and then created a sketch with the first bend line on it, but when I attempt to flod the part it will not sellect the bend line. I have attempted selecting the line before selecting fold and that does not work. I have placed the sketch both on the part surface and the datum plane. The only line I can get fold to select are the two ends of the part but I don't see how anything could be bent off the end of the part.

I am trying to fold a sheet into an "L" shape (using the the Fold command) but i would like to have the inside of the bend to be sharp and not a radius like on the outside. Is there any way that i can achieve this?
I am having real difficulty in putting a fold on a sheet metal part that only fold part of the piece. I have made the part as a solid body and it almost looks the part but not quite.how to draw the part as a sheet metal piece.
The is very simple to make as a sheet metal part, the piece in question is placed into the press brake to the 34mm depth and then its folded to the 13 degree angle.
i wanna making a extrusion from every select line in Part
/code Public Sub test() Dim oPartdoc As PartDocument Set oPartdoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument Dim oCompDef As PartComponentDefinition Set oCompDef = oPartdoc.ComponentDefinition Dim oSelectSet As SelectSet
Is there a feature on the latest series of inventor whereby you can automatically generate fold detail on the flat pattern , ie. fold up 45 degrees, eliminating mistakes. I am currently on Inventor 2008 so this feature could be on a new version.
The left-hand part was created by someone else, using the bend part command in the "modify" tab.The right-hand part was created by me using fold in the sheet metal environment, using the same sketch.Why, is my part shorter?
I have the following sheet metal application: A flat bar steel (strip) 40x1mm is bent and twisted around three cylinders. In our process, the strip is running in loop around these cylinders, like a conveyor-belt. At first, it is bent around the first cylinder (blue). Then, it is bent and twisted around the second cylinder (green). Between these cylinders, a flat part is modelled so that the strip will be bent upwards (twisted) around the next cylinder. The same is done between cylinder two and three. In praxis, when I bend the strip, no flat part will be present, because the strip is quite stiff, as it is spring steel. In my Inventor model, no stiffness of the strip is taken into consideration.
I am looking for a better way to model this strip, where stiffness of the material is taken into consideration.
Does a low cost or free software program that could simulate folding of sheet metal patterns so I can work out the best fold sequence eliminating collisions etc.. Based on my stock tooling shapes and sizes and machine limitations?
The last feature of this L-Bracket is a fold. When I create the flat pattern it is only unfolded, not completely flattened. Prior to INV 2009, I could get a wireframe flat pattern with the part still folded. Since then, I have to unfold to get a flat pattern. The only way to show the formed part and flat pattern in IN2012 is to use a derived part with the base component supressed and the base component with the fold supressed.
How to be able to simply flatten this part so I don't have to do extra work with two parts
master im new in autocad 2014....i have a problem now when i select line or object it highlight or make a broken line....but when i select the other object or line my previous selected back to normal..i mean i can select only one line if i use single selecting....how to select all object or line with single select continuously, except using hold left click...
if I select a line, then enter the move command, the line unselects also when I select a line, then hit delete, the line is still there both of these used to work
How can I select more than one line at a time? Until recently every line I selected would stay selected, now for some reason, I can only select one line at a time. If I select a line say to delete it, and then a second the first de-selects and only the last line selected will delete.
This point is a special point, just corner of the PolyLine.I plan to only allow the user to select the red line, then the program loops through all polylines near the red line, and then find that point
There is a layer or I would like to cal it a design which is made up of several different lines. But when I try to select a single line, the whole design gets selected/highlighted instead of a particular line in the design. What is this issue and how to overcome it? Layers are confusing in Autocad
In the top image I tried to select a single string but the whole design is highlighted where as the lower image shows it before selection.
i dont want use editor (i don't want use CommandFlags.Session)

StatusLabelBar is a component of my form for write msg. is use me.refresh and a timer (1s) for refresh my form. (a trick i have found for do this [if you have better trick i take it.])
When I try to use the move tool and hover over an object, the marker tool bounces around and has trouble finding the selection point. When I zoom in close to get the exact point on a line - it doesn't select anything, so I can't actually move an object.
I've tried adjusting the object snap settings however this doesn't seem to be working.
Is there a way in the command line to select certain objects. For instance if there is a cirlce a line and a square can i just select the circle using the command line. When i try to save as an STL file i can't find it anywhere. Does surfsculpt not work? Everytime i use it it says it failed. Also when i make an ellipse is there anywhere to specify the X Y and Z lenghts?
I am running AutoCAD 2010 full version. Every time I select a line or a group of lines or objects. My program freezes up for a couple of seconds each time, to scan the drawing. So a task that should take 10-15 minute is turning into 25-30 minutes nightmare. Every selection I make there will appear a progress bar and the words "Scanning the drawings..." in the bottom left hand corner of the screen. Is there some setting somewhere i can turn this scanning feature off? Is this issue linked to the layer states?
There is a very complecated drawing. Texts are on a line and crossing a line or something like that. Some texts has insertion points on the line. When the line is selected by LISP, only the specific texts with insertion points on the line are selected. Does it make sence?
Is there a way to draw a single line offset to the geometry that I select? I am trying to use multi line by modifying a style but it will not allow for one line offset at 4".
I'm using Autocad 2004 with LDD. My text style is set to Standard with simplex.shx as my font. When I select add static labels and select a line, the label is gibberish. I have tried different fonts but have the same results, gibberish.
My colleague has made xrefs for the first time. She can edit them - no problems. When I try and select a line the whole plan is selected with blue squares, then crashes. Its like it is locked. I have tried:
* updating all service packs
* edit in place
I do not know how to edit anything in the xref file.
