Bend Positions

In a Miter Flange, Edge Flange, Sketched Bend, Hem, or Jog, you have to select a bend position. The choices are as follows:

Bend Position	Preview
Material Inside . The top of the shaded preview of the flange coincides with the top of the fixed sheet metal entity.
Material Outside . The bottom of the shaded preview of the flange coincides with the top of the fixed sheet metal entity.
Bend Outside . The bottom of the shaded preview of the flange is offset by the bend radius.
Bend from Virtual Sharp . This preserves the dimension to the original edge and will vary the bend material condition to automatically match with the flange's end condition.
Bend Centerline . The bend line is placed such that it equally splits the bend region in the flattened part. This is available for Sketched-Bend and Jog features.	No preview available.
