Properties of tab sketches include.

Solidworks sheet metal tabs. There are specific sheet metal features you can use to create sheet metal bodies quickly. Solidworks welcomes your feedback concerning the presentation accuracy and thoroughness of the documentation. The sketch must be on a plane or planar face that is perpendicular to the direction of thickness of the sheet metal part. The tab s depth and direction are automatically set to match the parameters of the base flange feature.

The sketch can be a single closed multiple closed or multiple enclosed profile. You can edit the sketch. The sketch can be a single closed multiple closed or multiple enclosed profile. More ways to influence the slot shape.

The illustration shows a single tab feature that adds two tabs to the sheet metal part. 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 tab is added to the sheet metal part. The illustration shows a single tab feature that adds two tabs to the sheet metal part. Sheet metal tab and slot was introduced with solidworks 2018 and it gave engineers a great and fast way for a common time consuming task. Create a sketch on a plane or planar face that meets the above requirements.

But it did not last long or the first solidworks users started to demand more functionality like. Click base flange tab on the sheet metal toolbar or click insert sheet metal base flange. The direction of the depth automatically coincides with the sheet metal part to prevent a disjoint body. Default through all cut functionality for the slot.
