Hey Everyone,
I recently took the sheet metal CSWP Exam, and did very well until I came to a question where they ask you to insert a part. In this case it was a vent of some sort to the sheet metal component. I am not to familiar with this as it was not covered very well in the class I had taken. Can anyone explain this to me on how to acheive this? Thanks

Are you asking about inserting a part to create a multi-body part, or inserting a vent feature?

Kelvin,
See image above it was actually a part you had to download
Ah, the image wasn't there when I posted.
Look up Forming Tool in the Help files.
Thanks Kelvin also found this for anyone else trying to figure this out.
Good morning Russell,
Congrats on taking the course, what they are talking about is a sheet metal feature that you need to grab and insert on the face of the part and position according to the instructions.

John,
Thanks for the response. Yeah it was a pretty awesome course we did a massive computer tower sheet metal project. I will definatly be using it more in the near future. I hope this next shot at Sheet metal test will pass it.
Good afternoon Russell,
I hope you will be able to ace it. I took it twice, first time was bundle of nerves and kept watching the clock count down, sure didn't pass than..
The second time I almost aced it, however the louvers did me in. According to the directions that I had it didn't let me make the centerline parallel with the edge.
Even though I took the test, I still need the forum here and all the great guys to point me in the right direction, the test only proves that you can follow directions and know where the icons are. The true test for me is when I get exposed to something new that needs to be designed from scratch, otherwise it's a picture on the wall.

Russel,
I think it is called louvers
If you look at the design table, the feature is there.
You can select a face and insert from there.
See the picture.
Do you mean this?
John,
Yeah this is what i was looking for when you insert this does this allow you to locate with dimensions
Yes,
You can position it by giving dimensions.
It can be modified by editing the feature
See the picture
It's in the same line with the other louver
Thanks
Thanks for everyones help on this. I ended up passing the exam on the second try. I was a bit stumped on the part conversions to reversing thickness, but still did ok. Thanks everyone
Good afternoon Russell,
Congrats!!!!!
Glad you passed and got on the list
