Sheet metal information. Transfers the sheet metal and flat pattern information from the original part to the mirrored part, such as fixed face, grain direction, bend lines, and bounding box. Some sheet metal features are not supported for mirroring or inserting, including lofted bends, swept flanges, welded corners, and non-linear edge flanges and hems.
Unlocked properties (Available when Sheet metal information is selected). Lets you edit the sheet metal definition in the mirrored part, which will update the cut list properties. For drawings of mirrored and derived sheet metal parts, punch information is supported in punch tables. When using the Insert Part tool, bend and gauge tables are not transferred to the destination part, regardless of whether you select Unlocked properties.
