Sheet Metal Options

You can set the wall thickness, bend, and relief defaults for sheet metal components. These defaults can be changed for each component or bend by selecting the component or bend and modifying the property values in the Properties panel. Units for sheet metal options are set by your Units options for all new documents.

Options in the Basic Defaults section apply to all new designs, and persist after you close SpaceClaim. Options in the Relief Defaults section apply only to new designs in the current session.

Note: If you try to enter a value that is out of the allowed range in the Options panel or the SpaceClaim Options dialog, you will see a red exclamation mark icon next to the field. You can hover over the icon to see a tooltip that will explain the valid values for the option.
