Sketched Bend PropertyManager

To create a sketched bend feature:

  1. Sketch a line on a planar face of the sheet metal part. Alternatively, you can select the sketched bend feature before you create a sketch (but after you select a plane). When you select the sketched bend feature, a sketch opens on the plane.
