Jog
The Jog tool adds material to a sheet metal part by creating two bends from a sketched line.
Some additional items to note about the Jog tool:
-
The sketch must contain only one line.
-
The line does not need to be horizontal or vertical.
-
The bend line does not have to be the exact length of the faces you are bending.
To create a jog feature on a sheet metal part:
-
Sketch a line on the face of a sheet metal part where you want to create the jog. Alternatively, you can select the Jog feature before you create a sketch (but after you select a plane). When you select the Jog feature, a sketch opens on the plane.
-
Click Jog on the Sheet Metal toolbar, or click Insert, Sheet Metal, Jog.
