ACP Sheet Metal Design 4

Question 1

Which Flange width extents option makes a flange of a set length centered on the selected edge?

Accepted Answer

Width (with Centered)

Answer

The Width extent with the Centered option makes a flange of a fixed width centered on the edge.

Question 2

When you use the Fold command, what must the sketch line do?

Accepted Answer

Lie on the sheet metal face and reach its edges

Answer

Fold bends the face along a sketch line that lies on the face and ends on its edges.

Question 3

A shelled box was converted to sheet metal but cannot be flattened because it is fully closed. Which command adds the needed gap?

Accepted Answer

Rip

Answer

Rip makes a gap (single point, point to point, or face extents) so a closed shape can be unfolded.

Question 4

A common reason a flat pattern fails to generate in a sheet metal part is:

Accepted Answer

The part does not have a uniform thickness

Answer

Unfolding needs a uniform thickness, so features that change the thickness make the flat pattern fail.

Question 5

Which command adds manufacturing mark lines that are not bends and that carry into the flat pattern and DXF export?

Accepted Answer

Cosmetic Centerline

Answer

Cosmetic centerlines add reference marks, such as scribe lines, that appear in the flat pattern and in exports.
