There should be a Auto 2D Drawing dimensioning function in Fusion 360.  I mean, if we designed it already in Fusion, then the dimensions are all there in the files, even in the STEP files.   We have to design the project twice to get a set of dimensioned Drawings. A true automated system would do this for you.

 

If it exists then I have not found it.  Point me to it.

No I have not had time, yes you can go back and edit that parts rules. There's a lot sheetmetal can do it does not have all the standard stuff in it yet, but there is a lot of other stuff it can do.

 

Product dev is hard work.

 

If you just try and ram something through sheet metal it may work, I found a couple of things the sheet metal can do, one I new it may of been able to do a flat pattern of something else that is not a sheet metal part at all but can be made with sheet metal,.

 

And making some funky shape that needed bent in a certain way but you cant be done in sheet metal yet.

 

Most times when I reply to you I don't know the answer, before I reply I try what you are asking about, most times it can be done.

Well, thank you for that! 

 

A sheet metal shop told me this.  Does this seem reasonable?

For a 1/32 bend radius (0.03125")
0.125"     k=.195
0.090"     k=.140
0.063"     k=.100
