: These act as the "root" of the design, controlling thickness, bend allowances (K-factor), and corner treatments. In 2016, different rules can be applied to different bodies within the same multi-body part.

: A new option allows for trimming center lines at the contours when exporting flat patterns to DXF/DWG formats, leading to cleaner files for manufacturing. Design Best Practices Autodesk NEW Inventor 2016 on sheet metal design

: When converting a standard solid part or imported non-native geometry into a sheet metal part, Inventor 2016 can now automatically detect the material thickness, eliminating a manual setup step. : These act as the "root" of the

: Detailed procedural guides such as Inventor Sheet Metal from Start to Press from Autodesk University provide step-by-step instructions on using these features for professional fabrication. Design Best Practices : When converting a standard

: This highly requested feature allows for the creation of sharp corners (zero radius) in sheet metal components, which more accurately reflects certain fabrication methods and avoids error messages in the Bend Radius field.
