-*'''Rubber feet on enclosures'''
 *'''Louvres'''
 *'''Screws or welding to fasten brackets'''
 *'''Hinges'''
 *'''Drawer slides'''
-*'''Flange for U-Shape with Divider''': The U Shape enclosure (with Divider) will have a flange added at the top. Until then, to add bends and flanges, add a note to your design requesting Engineering & Design Services to add them for you. For example, if you want a bend/flange on the top side of the divider so that the cover and the divider can be fastened together, open the divider face in the Face Editor, click the face, then add a note in the Properties panel such as, "Add a flange to the top side of the divider so that the cover can mount to the divider."<br>This has been implemented as of Designer version 4.6.16<br><br>
