Message 1 of 8. Sheet Metal Tutorials. With your current process you "set" the sheet metal rule to match your thickness to allow it to unfold. It will NOT change your "standard" part thickness based on that.. It will only change real sheet metal features flanges,etc I have found that sometimes it is best to delete the extrude. Don't erase the sketch. Now click to create the sheet metal part as normal.
Oh another problem that we have run into when converting an extrude to a sheet metal part is the planes are not correct to send to DWG for our plasma cutter. A 24" x 10" part that is. Instead of the flat pattern being flat to the part it is from the side. LOL our plasma guy wants to know why we want to cut a part that is 10" long and. Or just click Accept Solution on my response.
The way I read this is that they think that what they put in for sheet metal thickness will modify the thickness of the extrusion they did before converting to sheet metal.. And it won't.. Inventor doesn't know which of the 3 dimensions you initial created in the part environment is intended to be the thickness.. So they wouldn't make it just automatically pick Okay, that works. If I go back and make my extrude dimension equal to the sheet metal thickness everything works fine.
You set up the thickness in the settings. Then when you make the sheet metal it will be the right thickness. Inventor Forum. Share your knowledge, ask questions, and explore popular Inventor topics.
Turn on suggestions. Auto-suggest helps you quickly narrow down your search results by suggesting possible matches as you type. The sheet metal template file incorporates a set of rules. The rules determine some common attributes such as material type and thickness, unfolding rules, gap sizes, and so on. By changing a single rule, you can change the material of a sheet metal part from aluminum to stainless steel.
A change of material often requires changes to the attributes that define bends and corners. Such changes often require changes to shop floor machinery and set-ups used to fabricate the parts. Like other parts created within Autodesk Inventor , sheet metal parts begin with a base feature.
The base feature of a sheet metal part is often a single face of some shape to which other features often flanges are added. A complex design could use a contour flange or contour roll as the initial base feature.
Some parts could utilize a lofted flange as the initial feature.

Thank you, Kenny. Message 3 of Kenny, I start a new steel standard part, make a rectangle centered on the origin, apply dimensions and extrude some distance symmetrical , say.
Now I have a rectangular part. I next change the part to sheet metal and go into the sheet metal setup and set the thickness to, say 0. Nothing is grayed out and it will let me change the thickness with no problem. However, when I save the change and go back to the part, the thickness remains at 0. I can save and close the file and re-open it and the thickness is still 0.
Message 4 of If so please use the Accept Solution button below. Maybe buy me a beer through Venmo mcgyvr Message 5 of Do you have the box checked to "Use thickness from Rule"? See attached image.

Unlike regular parts, sheet metal parts are always created from a uniformly thick sheet that is flat. This sheet is formed into the final part using various fabrication techniques. In the sheet metal environment, you can create a folded model and unfold it into a flat pattern. The flat pattern is typically used to detail the fabrication.
The sheet metal commands you use to work with flat patterns can provide critical fabrication information. If a regular part created in Autodesk Inventor is of a consistent thickness, you can convert it to a sheet metal part. The same is true for parts imported from other systems. The Autodesk Inventor software provides functionality that simplifies the creation, editing, and documentation of digital prototypes of sheet metal components A sheet metal part is often thought of as a part fabricated from a sheet of uniformly thick material.
Create sheet metal parts You create sheet metal parts from a template file. Convert parts to sheet metal parts.
