Dimsensioning flat pattern bend lines

Hi Lars,

Try Rapid Dimension with the Perpendicular option.
The first line will be the edge where the backgauge of the pressbrake will touch. The second line you click is the bend centre line (near the desired end point)

There you have a good and fast result.


I hope this helps.

BTW did you know that you can also get the Inside Bend Angle on your call out?
This is the syntax (case sensitive!):
'<!KEY=218935,3.2@UGS.includedAngle>'
<$s> will show the degree sign: e.g. 90°





The bend direction can also be visible as you can see;
Both line type as color can be set to be different.





Engraving text can also be highlighted (added top and bottom curves)



I think the press brake operators will be very happy!

Frank,

This is a welcome answer. For now i only tweaked the line type for the ben up and down line.

Maybe a color would be nice to.

Thnx.

Lars
