Sun Jan 04, 2009 3:00 pm Slotting instead of Bending
Hi, I'm trying to make a box. I was reading through the help sections and came across instructions to save on bending costs by slotting instead. Here is a link to the page where I found this information.
How do I indicate slotting instead of bending for my part. The box is to be washdown capable in its final finish, I do not understand if slotting will give the box holes that will allow water through.
Thanks!

Simply remove the bend lines and in place of each bend line draw a few thin rectangles.
But that will not be appropriate for you as the slots will go thru the material.
Also see Box Wizard.
