Sheet Metal

I have a simple sheet metal part made of flanges and hems. When I add a certain flange, the hem to which it is added along with the newly added flange suddenly changes into a new part. I cannot see how I can prevent this from happening. Everything should remain one part. Any help will me much appreciated.

Dear colleague, is there any hint-workaround for creating a flattable "something" of the attached object such that it could be finally cut on a laser cutter? All my attempts (extruding solids, thickening surfaces, extruding/thickening metal sheets) failed so far. I tried to insert a link to my document but it says that the…

I'm trying to make Loft 15 and Loft 16 into a continuous part with extrude 2 so that i can covert it into a flat pattern with bends and then extract a dxf file so I will be able to cut it out on my plasma table, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to do this. Am I missing something or will I just have to cut…

I'm learning OnShape and the flange tool behaves differently than how Solidworks would generate it. Any reason why the flange tool basically deletes the chamfer in this situation? It's not that I can't think of a workaround for this using partial flanges and some extrusions, but seems like a lot of extra commands for…

Hello, I was hoping I can get some help… Can someone please help me turn this design into one part/piece? It is currently a sheet metal design one bend with a tab at the top. Thank you in advance. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/b75c7385bb1f2d566f0796a2/w/6b32e06d7a6e555f1a9cf39b/e/d3a41469a5edc4d055f4675f

Hello there ! I'd like to measure the distance between a hole axis and my sheet metal bend center line (the dotted line inside the sheet metal flat view), but i'm having a hard time querying it I did managed to do a "manual" query of the center line ike so : annotation { "Name" : "Center line", "Filter" : EntityType.BODY…

Is there a tool or featurescript that allows to nest a bunch of flat sheet metal parts to one Drawing or Sketch? To export to DXF. I need to laser-cut many parts in one go. Preferrably nicely packed together. Now I manually place them in a drawing, but that is too painful, as the parts are also subject to change based on…

Complimentary Bend In response to Byran Lagrange's request , I have created a feature that changes the bend table and drawing callout for sheet metal bends. The feature changes the bend angle to the complimentary angle. Just insert it before the "Finish Sheet Metal Model" feature, and select an edge from each joint.
