Parameters

Path

Pathname of the forming tool part file in the Design Library

Flip

Whether to reverse the direction of the cut of the forming tool when inserted

RotAngle

Angle of the forming tool

Config

Name of the configuration of the forming tool to insert

OverrideDoc

True to override the document settings in Tools > Options > Document Properties > Sheet Metal, false to not

ShowPunch

True to display the cut of the forming tool when the part is flattened, false to not; valid only if OverrideDoc = true

ShowProfile

True to display the placement sketch of the forming tool when the part is flattened, false to not; valid only if OverrideDoc = true

ShowCenter

True to display the center mark where the forming tool is located in the flat pattern, false to not; valid only if OverrideDoc = true

LinkToPart

True to link the forming tool feature to its part in the Design Library, false to not

Return Value

Before calling this method, select either a face or a 2D sketch containing points. If you select a face, a single instance of the Design Library forming tool is placed on it. If you select a sketch containing points, an instance of the Design Library forming tool is placed at each point in the sketch.

To create your own forming tool, call IFeatureManager::CreateFormTool.
