Extruded Cut Solidworks Sheet Metal

One of the parts is bent from 1 inch plate which makes me want to model it as sheet metal.

Extruded cut solidworks sheet metal.

The unfold propertymanager appears. Open the immediate window. To cut across sheet metal bends. In an existing sheet metal part click unfold or insert sheet metal unfold.

Adds draft to the extruded feature. In the sheet metal shop the hole will be punched on the flat sheet before the bend which the sketched bend feature in sw sheet metal for so just create a flat sheet add extrude cut and let the sketched bend feature takes care the rest. Creates cut extrude2 which is an optimized normal cut extrude. If the depth of the original extrusion changes the new one changes to match it.

As far as i can tell tho sw will only let me cut the sheet metal perpendicular to the face but i need to cut 5 deg from normal. You can make cuts across bend lines. Verify that the sheet metal part to open exists. The link to thickness option is useful in sheet metal parts because the part must be of uniform thickness.

Sketches a circle on the selected face. Cutting at an angle just seems to make a larger normal cut.
