Hi I'm trying to get this business card holder side flange figured out.  I want to two side triangles to be a bend where they meet the side edge of the part and I can't figure out how to create a bend there.

Can someone point me in the right direction please?

Hi CADwhisperer,

 

Thanks, that looks exactly like I'm trying to do.  Please forgive my ignorance but as far as I can tell the timeline doesn't show on an imported part and I can't figure out exactly what you did just from turning on the sketches.

Is there a way to get the timeline to show on an imported f3d file?

Don't import, do a File>Open and the timeline should be there.

I just downloaded the file that I posted yesterday an opened on a different computer.

This is what I see.

Make sure that you have your Capture Design History enabled in Preferences before opening the file.
