Example: A Machining Feature to a Sheet Metal Part

Combined features are library features. The software supplier's sheet-metal library features can be found in the Features/Sheet_metal directory of the feature library.

For example, add a library feature, Louver.vxm, to a sheet, and position it using geometric constraints. The cutout and boss effects of the library feature are shown on the sheet after the sketch of the feature has been accepted.

Figure 1: The bossing part of the feature is highlighted with yellow color in the model.
