Sheet Metal - Hem for Multiple Edges

Sheet Metal - Hem for Multiple Edges

I'd like to create four side, but we have to do it one by one. Hopefully we could select four side at once.

Although implemented, this feature need minor improvement, allowing to hem multiple edges at once. Of course there's several workarounds already discussed on Inventor forum, but none is as convenient as having a dedicated button with 2 or 3 dialog options to choose from and OK to execute.

so if currently if you want a hem with miters you have to set it back from the ends one at a time then use corner seam. You should be able to pick all edges with automatic corner seam conditions the same as flange does

It would be great if we can do it at once. Great idea @novly.abdurohman

A hem A.A. is a fairly common HVAC practice for patches or generic stiffening of a piece of steel...with the corners typically mitered. It's silly that this isn't already a function.

I suggest to Adding the following options to Hem feature in sheet metal environment:

  1. selecting multiple edges or loop select mode, also applying Miter automatically when Hem intersect.
  2. adding corner tab to Hem window for corner treatment optionsAutodesk Inventor Hem.png
