How to bend a sheet.... revisited

I don't use sheetmetal very much, so I am always interested to see how
others construct their models and try to learn from them. Zico posted a
file in the iCF under the subject "How to bend a sheet..." on 10-30-03 (to
open his file, change the extension from .dat to .zip). I looked at this
and have a question about how he did something.

In sketch16 (under cut1), how did he get the reference geometry for this
sketch? What is so interesting, is that it changes as the dimensions in
sketch14 (under Contour Flange) changes. So he obviously didn't just sketch
it, then change the properties of the lines to Reference.

Must be something simple that I am missing.

You can use the "Project Flat Pattern" command from under the "Project Geometry" pop-out when in sketch mode. This comes in very handy for specifying dimensions from connected flanges.

Nice.... I knew there was something I was
missing.
