Joggle creation

Has anyone found a way to create an offset joggle in sheetmetal in an
operation similar to a Fold? I would like to add a joggle to a face which
has multiple cutouts.

Ron have you tried adding a flange at 0 degrees?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding you.

That works for adding new material, I'm trying to do it with existing
material - similar to using the "Fold" command.

Ken, I haven't really used the 0 degree option for the Flange command
before so I tried it. As I said, it's nice if you need to ADD material but
that isn't my case. But, I'm wondering if it's possible to increase the
Joggle distance using this method - some times I need more than 1x material
thickness.

It would also be nice to have this 0degree joggle but with a slight angle to
the flange - say 1-2 degrees.

I'm going to try to use this 0 degree flange approach first then add my
cutout geometry using the Project Flat Pattern approach. 🙂

What thickness mat'l are you using?
How much of an offset are you looking for, a thickness? (This probably can't
be done)
Can you crank down your bend radius for that bend to say....0001 in?

Current material thickness is 1.2mils 🙂

I would like joggles greater than material thickness.

Ron:

If your joggles are greater than material thickness this can be
accomplished.
Granted, it'll probably be more of a pain than you want to deal with,
but possible none the less. I put a sample file in CF.
FWIW:
I would personally go the other route and add you joggles first.

Another reason it would still be nice to re-ordering things?
