I press that I do not know sw, but I think that the function you refer to goes to indicate if you want the size of the folded flap taken from the inside or from the outside, for what concerns the folders if we talk about theory the development of the sheet is equal to the sum of the internal measures of the (or sides) profile.
e.g. "l" 100x50 thickness 2 mm., in theory development is equal to 98+48=146.
I hope I have answered your question.
I apologize, in solidworks there is no function called internal fold or external fold. What exactly do you mean?I wanted to ask for the difference between the internal fold function and external fold, but above all what is most correct in the use of a die-packer in the field of carpentry in general (if so can be said).
Thank you in advance.

It is indifferent to use one or the other. and "in the machine" even less; in the processing phase affect the measurements of the finished and modern cn do "all alone" once set the data of material and thickness. as the designer did not care.Thank you for your explanation. I learned something new. but my question is mainly focused on the function of cad solisworws, i.e. if it is indiferent to use a function or the other to get to the desired quota and if the use of this function (internal or external padding) implies a diversity of workmanship in the practical phase of filling.
still grazes for his time dedicated to me.

I thought it meant when to add a flangia on board to options length flange and/or flange position.I apologize, in solidworks there is no function called internal fold or external fold. What exactly do you mean?
He dissolved all my doubts and finally this evening I managed to figure out how to draw the plates. I thank the promptness of the answers, clear and exhaustive. I hope, amzi I wish, with the experience of being able to contribute also in this forum.It is indifferent to use one or the other. and "in the machine" even less; in the processing phase affect the measurements of the finished and modern cn do "all alone" once set the data of material and thickness. as the designer did not care.
who draws must take into account when dimensionalizing in the sketch, because using for example the esterna at the end you will have a total extension equal to the thickness (which is added for each fold/flange). or when you add a fold/flange not for the entire length of the edge (closed between two cuts/unloading cantons, to understand us), it depends whether you want it to be dirty or if it is flushed with the rest of the edge.. depends on cases.

First of all I recommend you to do the sheet metal tutorial, they are in group2 tutorials. normally you tend to draw the finished object and then calculate the development. It is also possible to draw a plate and then fold it, but it makes little sense for the purposes of design.I'm starting to use solidworks and I can't bend a sheet, you'd know where I'm wrong!
- I create the sketch of a rectangle.
- I extrude it (2mm)
- on the planar face I create a sketch where I draw the fold line between two edges.
- select the bent feature, evidenze the planar face and the line but it tells me too complex geometry!
Where am I wrong?
Thank you!
Hey, make sure you work with the sheets and not with the solids. according to the bending line must cross the whole body to fold and out exit into both parts. beyond this, as recommended already by another forum book I recommend you to see the examples in the tutorial.I'm starting to use solidworks and I can't bend a sheet, you'd know where I'm wrong!

How can you not?I don't have the tutorial!
