Sheet Metal - direct manipulation support

Sheet Metal - direct manipulation support

I would like to be able to stretch (modify) flange lenghts by using a 3D direct manipulation arrow.

Use Fusion it does this.

Doesn't fusion do this via 'move face'. Inventor also does it the same way but both fall over when the flange  AND bend need to move.

 I'de like to see flanges, hems etc being added to the edge select options (currently Fillet & Chamfer) so that I just need to click an edge and drag to produce the relevent feature, rather than start command, pick edge, return to dialog , fill in values ....

Lok on youtube at how the competition does it, very swish

In the sheet metal module, I would like to have a mouse drag arrow, to adjust flange lengths.

Similar to those used in the part extrusion command.

the interface of this module is very old style

Solidwork able the user to be very quickly during the design of a sheet metal part

Not only the Length, all the parameters.
