What are the Unique sheetmetal Features that are available in Inventor

Ours is a region with full of Sheetmetal and Foudry industries . .

 

So these are the two major areas that we focus . And customers have always been asking me this and  of course Fusion 360 is going to come with a bang . But still it has a long way to go to have fully fledged features of Inventor Sheetmetal . 

 

.But " What are the unique sheetmetal features that are available in Inventor compared to Solidworks , Unigraphics , Pro E ?"

is there any way to change thickness in sheet metal module in Inventor,

 

I feel like there must be something more to your question.

You have posted to an old thread.

Simply Edit the Style or the Thickness parameter.

I have used all of them out there and Inventor was good but lack many things and when they add features to sheet metal they are half baked and takes 2 releases before they fix it.

 

 

In my opinion Solid Edge is hands down the leader, also if you call them with issues they fix them ASAP and email you a fix within days not years. 

 

Inventor lost its vision back in 2010 and have been going down hill since.

Hello @Anonymous I see that you are visiting as a new member to the Inventor Forum.
Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

Create a Sheet Metal Part and define the Thickness within the Sheet Metal Defaults.

Later you can go in and edit this and it will adjust the model wherever you have referenced the Thickness parameter or used the Sheet Metal commands.
