Building an assembly with Solid Edge is relatively easy, and all the basic tools are available. Interaction between the assembly and part environments is smooth. As in the Part environment, a sheet-metal part consists of a base feature and subsequent features that you add to the base. Sheet-metal options, including material thickness, bend radii, bend reliefs, and bend formula, are set once and applied to features as you create them. Sheet-metal features include flanges, jogs, holes, cutouts, bead stiffeners, dimples, automatic bend and corner reliefs, and corner closures.
Cutouts can span bends.
Sheet-metal designers will appreciate this environment. The interface is smooth, and features are easy to construct and modify. The only drawback, again, is the absence of the undo and redo commands. Drafting With Solid Edge Draft you create detail drawings of the models you create in the Part, Assembly, and Sheet-metal environments. First, you select a part, then define the primary view.
