Part VII: Working with Specialized Functionality
You can edit the profile of the Hem, like an Edge Flange, to control the length of the edge that is
hemmed. To do this, click the Edit Hem Width button below the Edges selection box in the Hem
PropertyManager, shown in Figure 29.18.Jog feature
The Jog feature puts a pair of opposing bends on a flange so that the end of the flange is parallel to,
but offset from, the face where the jog started. The Jog PropertyManager and a sample jog are
shown in Figure 29.19.
FIGURE 29.19The Jog PropertyManager and a sample jog
The Jog feature is created from a single sketch line on the face of a sheet metal part. The geometry
to be jogged should not have any side bends; it should be a simple tab-like flange, as shown in
Figure 29.19. The line to create the jog can be drawn at an angle, causing the jog to also be angled.The three icons on the Jog Offset panel illustrate what dimension is being controlled by that setting.Fixed Face
Like most sheet metal features, the Jog feature bends faces on the part, and when it does so,
although it may be obvious to you as the user, it is not obvious to the software which face should
remain stationary and which faces should be moved by the bend. The Fixed Face selection box
enables you to select a face, or in this case, a part of a face, that you want to remain stationary as
the rest of the faces move. The black dot on the face identifies it as stationary.
