I am working through some sheet metal exercises because I
have noSW experience with sheet metal. I am having trouble adding
thesupplied louver forming tool from the design library. I
haveseveral reference materials and they all indicate that I
shouldsimply drag and drop the tool onto a face. However, when I
drag anddrop the louver on the face of my sheet metal box SW pops
up awindow asking me if I want to create a derived part? The
optionsare yes, no, or cancel. Yes - inserts another part into my
modelfloating in space, which is difficult to do anything with. No
-opens the individual louver part model. I expect the form tools
towork just like the sheet metal library features, which I could
dragand drop properly and use sketch tools to locate and position.
Is there a setting that needs adjusting or am I just missing theboat? By the way, of all the SW resources I have found; theseforums are by far the best.
