Hello All, Let's try this again with my brain ingaged.

I rarely (OK almost never) do any sheet metal parts. Would some kind soul please have a look at this and show me how to move the obvious tabs down about 10 degrees?

Muggs -

You almost got it. Select your sketch 20, than insert/sheet metal/sketched bends. Due to your constraint, select the last option (bends outside) and set your angle at 10 degrees. I'm not sure what direction you mean is down, but if you want to go the other way, you need to move the sketch to the other surface...

Sorry, forgot to include that you need to select the surface that the sketch is on, than select the "bends outside", and set your angle at 10 degrees..

I went after it a different way using edge flanges. I can e-mail you the file if you wish.

WOW that was easy. Thank you so much, Scott!!! I did everything except select the "bend outside".

Your welcome!

You had to use the bend outside feature because of the way you constrained your sketch to the corner (I think - But I'm no sheet metal expert either.)

Glad I could help...
