Do sheet metal forming tools work in basic solidworks? If so, how?



Thanks,


Yes it works with basic solidworks also.

You can search in help topics for getting the information. Also in the deisgn library you can find some form tools already there for use.

check them also.

Thanks, that had the information I needed. SW help didn't have the information about saving as a "*.sldftp" file, and don't think that basic Solidworks has a design library.

No, basic SolidWorks does have a design library. I've hardly ever used it and they've changed locations and such since I did, so I can't help you find it, but it is there, somewhere.

turn on the "task pane", design library is the middle icon (stacked books).

OK, the task pane has this little thumbtack in it. If you click on the thumbtack, the task pane locks open. Then you can adjust the width of the task pane so that with the thumbtack in, it's all the way closed. That way, if you click on one of the tabs, nothing happens. I just found this out.
