Add fold to the assembly features

Add fold to the assembly features

We should have a feature in the assembly environment that allows us to fold the assembly file.  I work on some frames now that get welded up straight,then we cut some material away and fold them up slightly to create a curve in the frame.  Currently we have to derive the assembly into a part to do the fold feature.  It would be nice if we didn't have to create this extra file.

We have similar problem with Inventor: Sheet Metal Part is placed to Weldment assembly. Now I need to do machining and cut a piece and fold remaining flange 30deg. Machining doesn't have fold-option. Sometimes folding is needed in assembly after other work prosedures, e.g. flange is hit with hammer to bend it.
