About Creating a Conversion Feature
Use the Conversion tool to add features necessary to make a solid part converted to a sheet metal part developable and manufacturable. You can use the Conversion tool to add these features as a single feature, or use individual tools to add each feature separately. To access the Conversion tool, click Model > Conversion.
You can add the following features using the Conversion tool:
• Edge Rip—Adds a rip along selected part edges.
 
* When you add edge rips using the Conversion tool, any required edge bends are added automatically.
• Rip Connect—Adds a straight-line rip connecting two datum points or vertices, or a combination of both.
• Edge Bend—Adds a bend to selected sharp edges.
• Corner Relief—Adds relief to selected corners.
