Sheet Metal Tab
The depth of a Tab feature is automatically set to the thickness of
the sheet metal part. The direction of the depth automatically coincides
with the sheet metal part to prevent a disjoint body.
Properties of tab sketches include:
The sketch can be a single closed, multiple closed,
or multiple-enclosed profile. The illustration shows a single tab feature
that adds two tabs to the sheet metal part. The sketch must be on a plane or planar face that
is perpendicular to the direction of thickness of the sheet metal part. You can edit the sketch. |

To create a Tab feature in a sheet metal part:
Create a sketch on a
plane or planar face that meets the above requirements. |

-
Click Base Flange/Tab  on the Sheet Metal toolbar, or click Insert,
Sheet Metal, Base
Flange.
The tab is added to the sheet metal part.
The tab's depth and direction are automatically set to match the parameters
of the Base Flange feature.
