Quick Guide to Keycreator's Sheet Metal Design Tools- Part 1
Many users are not aware of the sheet metal design capabilities in Keycreator. The
various tools are located in several different menu locations instead of in one common
palette, so I recommend that you create a special sheet metal toolbar to simplify your
work. If you are not familiar with creating a custom toolbar, I recommend that you use
my Tips and Tricks exercise on creating hot keys and toolbars or one of my books like
Doctor Walt's Keycreator Workbook.
Next, I like to place the PRIMITIVE BLOCK Icon, since you
can start many sheet metal parts by making a basic plate or
volume that can be later shelled out.
Now, drag the CUT SHEETMETAL CORNER
Icon onto your toolbar.

The first tool on the toolbar should be the
ONLINE CALCULATOR. You can find this in
the TOOLS Pulldown Menu.
The next useful tool is the SHELL Icon. You'll
see in a moment how this comes in useful for
making sheet metal parts.
