What I'm looking to is to sketch a shape and remove all material w/in the sketch to a depth less than the material thickness. Pulled the following from the PTC help site:
"Because sheet metal cuts are surface cuts, you cannot make a cut to partially remove wall thickness. For example, you can not cut a 1cm deep hole in a 10cm thick wall. This may make the Blind depth command somewhat difficult to understand. The Blind depth command applies to cutting on bends. You can sketch the cut to the edge of the bend and project it a blind depth down the bent wall, saving you the time of unbending the wall, making the cut, and bending back the wall."
Why not let it behave as if creating a cut in part mode?
If u r using WF2, You cann't get blind depth using Sheet metal cut, So U need to use a solid cut instead.
If u r using WF3, arroyopr solution works out.
