Another V-Groove Question

Hi,

Only new to Fusion 360, so still learning, be gentle🙈

 

I'm looking to place a 90 degree bend in a 2mm thick piece of aluminium, I was playing around in the program(could have been the sheet metal part, cant remember) but I could have sworn I saw a 'v groove' tab or button? Am I dreaming? As I cant seem to get back to it or find it again.

 

I'd like to be able to use a bit like below, as I will be bending said piece myself by hand and want to minimise the bend radius.

I've done a lot of searching in the forum and on the net with no concrete answer. 

 

Regards

 

Mitch

You can do that easily in the Manufacturing workspace. First place a sketch line where you want the bend.  As you can see in the screencast, the line needs to extend past the edges of the workpiece to allow for lead-ins and outs.
