Sheet Metal - Controlling Bend up & Down

[jhusted]

I am driving a sheet metal part with a design table. I would like different configurations of this part with some bends up and some down. I can drive the angle of the bend, but the only place to modify the direction of the bend is through the properties of that bend. Does anyone know how I would control the direction of the bend through the design table?

Thank you,

Jack

The only way that I can think of is having another set of bends in another configuration. There is some new functionality in 2001plus that allows you to change the end condition of you extrude. Not sure if it allows you to change your bend though. BBJT CSWP

If you have a sketched bend in a sheetmetal part you can change the direction of the bend in the property manager however you can not diferentiate the direction via the configuration manager. BBJt is exactly right Create your first bend. create a new configuration and suppress that bend and create another going the opposite direction. the only thing you CAN control at this time with the config mgr is the angular dimension. Hope that helps.
