Flanged Bracket Template

Post by DGB »

Hello,
I am trying to create a part with the Flanged Bracket Template. The design considerations indicate that Height must be > 0.29" for metal thicknesses < 0.075", but the Dimensions dialog will not let me set the Height value less than 1". I am using v6.0.19.

Hello DGB,

Are the design considerations, Height must be > 0.29" for metal thicknesses < 0.075", your own, or something the Protocase Designer is forcing you to do? The one-inch size rule in Protocase Designer is correct and helps ensure manufacturability. If you want something less than one inch I suggest contacting Protocase's Engineering and Design Services team. https://www.protocase.com/contact/

I hope that helps. If there is anything else let me know.

The design considerations are part of the template dialog. So Protocase Designer is telling me I can set it down to 0.29, but when I try to, it tells me that I can't.
