[mariusche]

Hello

It is possible to do this in sheet metal Fusion 360?

Before I spend time on this - are you still looking for solution?

[mariusche]

hello,

yes

I have not figured out how to do Round corners in Fusion like you can do in Inventor, but the rest of this should give you some ideas.

I like to make Flat Pattern early on in the design process and keep toggling back and forth to make sure all is manufacturable.

@TheCADWhisperer A question why did you use a sketch and a extrude to extended the width of some of the flanges like what's pointed to with the arrows, when you can use the command inside sheetmetal to do it like what is in the pick. 

 

[TheCADWhisperer]

Uhmm, well - basically because I am clueless in Fusion.  

I think I already figured out a much more efficient way to model the part, but I would really like to figure out how to get those circular bend corners in Fusion.

It's under the override rules in the flange dialog if you only wont to change what happens with that flange.

Or if you wont it to happen to all flange you edit the rules by clicking on the sheet metal rule symbol in the ribbon then click on the pencil that the arrow is pointing to what brings up the edit rule dialog 

@TheCADWhisperer I have done this for others who don't know sheetmetal at all.

Can you edit the file and show example - I fooled around in there for a bit and couldn't figure it out.

[daniel_lyall]

@JDMather Yep will do.

@TheCADWhisperer here's me showing changing the width of the flange, what I did at 1 min 30 is how to do tabs promm showed to do it this way. 

Then at the end I show a way to have 2 flanges on the same edge.

thank everyone for your effort
I learned a lot from a simple thing

[daniel_lyall]

@mariusche there's more to come

[mariusche]

but... if you have pleasure and time for"much more efficient way" I am very interested

anyway thanks for your time

[mariusche]

I've seen a lot of interesting things

[daniel_lyall]

@mariusche Yep I have a few bugs to sort first, to get a clean work flow that does not kill sheetmetal, I have worked out a few way to do what you need most kill Fusion in it's tracks, Its all fun for me.
