Can I still extrude an attached wall?
It seems that the old extrude icon has been replace with Flange.
Then I looked in the icons under the sheetmetal toolbar and the old
extrude is there but greyed out. I drag it up and it says it's added
and that it will be shown at the proper time.
But it doesn't show up when I go back to my model.
I have an extruded first wall with 1" vertical flanges,
so basically a really wide U like this >>>> |_____|.
I want to add walls on the ends, "closing it off" and making it
have 4 walls.
I saw the functionality of WF2 sheetmetal and was excited.
I also thought I was pretty good at shheetmetal until WF2.
Any ideas? Running WF2 build M080.
Thanks
Mike
From the WF2 "What's New in WF2" release notes: |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Summary
The Flange Wall feature consolidates and simplifies the creation of
sheetmetal extruded, swept, and hem walls.
Benefits and Description
This feature offers the quickest and easiest way to create flange walls along
an edge on a sheetmetal part using the object-action and action-object
paradigm. It comes with industry-standard, predefined shapes for the walls.
You can define your own section using standard Pro/ENGINEER sections.
Direct manipulation of all standard shapes and types of wall relief is
available through handles. Wherever necessary, automatic wall relief is
added.
Using the dashboard, you can flip the thickness of the sections. There are no
constraints in the selection of the edge from which to generate any wall."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, I guess you can stop looking for that 'Extruded Wall' icon.
