Sheet Metal Pull Tool Options

The following Sheet Metal options are available for the Pull tool:

  • Use Edge Location: When you pull a sheet metal edge, the location of the bend radius depends on the edge you select and the direction you pull.

    When you pull away from the other edge, the selected edge becomes an inside corner. When you pull across the other edge, the selected edge becomes an outside corner.

  • Inside: The length of the inside surface of the wall is maintained, like 1 in the illustration above.
  • Outside: The length of the outside surface of the wall is maintained, like 2 in the illustration above.
  • Offset: The amount of space needed to offset the sheet, in order to allow space for pulling.
  • Dimension to Selected Edge: Uses the selected edge to automatically calculate the dimension reference based on the subsequent pull direction.
  • Dimension to Inside Edge: Uses the inside edge as the dimension reference regardless of the pull direction.
  • Dimension to Outside Edge: Uses the outside edge as the dimension reference regardless of the pull direction.
  • Bend angle: Angle between the two walls.

  • Bend radius: Inside radius of the bend.
