  • Set the bend direction, bend radius, bend order, and bend allowance
  • Edit the text, including removing the R for the bend radius parameter
  • Display complementary and supplementary bend angles

In a drawing with a flat pattern view of a sheet metal part, select the drawing view. Set options in the Drawing View PropertyManager under Bend Notes.

You can also:
  • Control the precision of bend notes per drawing view. Click Options Tool_Options_Standard.gif (Standard toolbar) or Tools > Options . On the Document Properties tab, expand Tables and click Bend. Set options for Precision.
  • Merge and unmerge collinear bend notes.

    To merge the bend notes into a single note, multi-select the notes, right-click, and select Merge Bend Notes.

    To unmerge, right-click the merged note and click Unmerge Bend Notes.

  • Use the new options for bend notes as columns in bend tables. In a bend table, double-click a column heading and select a column such as COMPLEMENTARY ANGLE, BEND ORDER, or BEND ALLOWANCE.
