Cut a Sheet Along Tangential Lines

Sheet-Metal Design

You can cut a sheet when performing the function Tangential offset. Add the lines along which the sheet is to be cut in the element list of the tangential offset.

Figure 1: A sheet formed with the Tangential offset function is cut along the selected lines.

Select the cut lines as follows:

  1. Select one face from a tangential chain of faces.
  2. Select the context-sensitive function Tangential Offset....
  3. Define the tangential offset data in the dialog box.
  4. Add the lines along which you want to cut the sheet to the element list. Select Add, select the lines and select the context-sensitive function OK or press the mouse middle button.
  5. Select OK.
Figure 2: When the cut lines have been selected, you can create a flattening drawing from the sheet.
