      <description>&lt;P&gt;I have found that the flange command is easier to use than the fold command. I have not done a lot of experimenting with the fold command, but what I have noticed is that if the fold doesn't go through the entire part along the bend line and the tangent edges, it is difficult to work with.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I recommend watching this Video by&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1054228"&gt;@Neil_Cross&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;at TFI. He does some great videos on his YouTube Channel, and it helps that he has a good sense of humor.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;IF you check the draw you can see on the left sied there is a perfect geometry&amp;nbsp; ready to build up a face and to be folded! But after fold couple of side i cant continue and i got error evrytime&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;@Anonymous&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I tried to open your part file, but it was blank. It may be a derived component dependent upon the presence of the original file. As I said earlier, I am not the best person to help you with the fold command as I have little experience with it. I'm not really sure how the fold command will work inside of a derived component. That being said, you may want to check the existing threads out there for help on using the fold command. Here are some links that may help you...&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;One thing I have found on your file.&amp;nbsp; Your Bend lines must be exact from edge to edge.&amp;nbsp; For the flat edges you are generally fine, but when your bend line touches your curved spline edges, you did not trim it to the exact edge.&amp;nbsp; After doing that I was able to bend that tab.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello P C.rawford&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;probably the file wrong,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;now made a better a draw and i'm doing progress but im still stock with the mirror and i think is because the axex or the origin i attached&amp;nbsp; also the file so you can see, i think i'm right but&amp;nbsp; don't know why mirror command does not place the geometry in right spot&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;&lt;A id="link_12" class="lia-link-navigation lia-page-link lia-user-name-link" href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3677112" target="_self"&gt;JamieVJohnson2&lt;/A&gt;,&lt;BR /&gt;i read your comment and i made some progress with it, now i understand how it works, i'm using inventor since 1 week so is new for me, now i've done a better sketch and i had a good result, the thing is im stock with the mirror,&amp;nbsp; i mean the geometry appear so far or so close, i guess is cause of the axis or the origin, i attached the file so you can check&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Create a new workplane using the option Midplane between two planes, then use that workplane to mirror instead of your origin, because your model is asymmetrical.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;Alternatively you can use Parallel to plane on point, and pick the midpoint of a horizontal edge, and then the origin plane parallel to your desired mirror plane.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;However, since your trapezoidal vertical face is not symmetrical, the new face will not 'connect' as expected.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
