Changing Auto Reliefs

You can change the type and size of a relief cut for a feature bend. A feature bend is different from an individual bend, in that the feature bend is an actual sheet metal feature. For example, when you have a Sketched Bend in the FeatureManager design tree, the Sketched Bend feature is the sheet metal feature, and SketchBend is the individual bend that is absorbed in the Sketched Bend feature.

To change the type and size of a relief cut for a feature bend:

1. In the FeatureManager design tree, right-click the feature bend you want to edit, and select Edit Feature.

2. In the PropertyManager, select Custom Relief Type.

3. Under Custom Relief Type:

• Set a relief cut in Relief Type.

• If you selected Rectangle or Obround, change the values for Relief Width and Relief Depth , or select Use relief ratio and set a value for Relief Ratio.

• If you selected Tear, click Rip or Extend .

4. Click OK .
