sheetmetal hem? Where did it go

[davehaigh]

I don't use sheetmetal mode often, I'm trying to add a hem to a part, and I don't find anything in the creo 2 update training on it, search for hem in Creo turns up nothing. What happened to this functionality?

Other standard shapes
Keep in mind the following when using a standard flange wall shape:

*

You cannot change the material thickness direction for an Open, Flushed, Duck, C, or Z flange.



*

The bend radius value and material thickness direction are only applied to a shape that is not tangent to the attachment wall.



*

You can apply rip relief only to a flange with a flush shape.



*

Stretch relief is not available for a duck-shaped flange.
