Cut command
Use the Cut command to create a cut through a defined portion of a part.
You can create a sheet metal cutout with an open profile
or a closed profile.
Face Normal cut types
Cuts normal to the face include:
- Thickness cut
-
This option creates a cutout that compensates for the material thickness of the part.
The Thickness cut option is useful when creating parts in which a shaft must pass through aligned circular cutouts.
- Mid–plane cut
-
This option creates a cutout based on the mid-plane of the part.
- Nearest Face cut
-
This option creates a cutout based on the nearest face of the part.
Cuts across bends
The Wrapped Cut option unfolds the bend to create a cut,
and then rebends when the cut is complete.
As you move a face containing a wrapped cut, the cutouts remain consistent.
You can move a cylindrical cutout across bends and the cutout maintains its shape.
If you try to end the move of the cutout within a bend area a warning is displayed..
