Sheet Metal - Bend Table (vba)

[Anonymous]

Hey guys,

I'm having trouble with adding a bend table to a sheet metal in vba (in inventor 2012). If I set a bend table manually then I can select "General" table, which makes a table with 'Bend ID' 'Bend Direction' 'bend radius' and 'Bend Angle'. But when I do it in vba:

Dim strColumns(1 To 3) As String
    strColumns(1) = "BEND ID"
    strColumns(2) = "BEND RADIUS"
    strColumns(3) = "BEND ANGLE"

Call oSheet.CustomTables.AddBendTable(oModel, oPoint6, "Bend Table", strColumns)

I get a bend table with 5 columns and the bendnotes on the baseview dont appear. (which I can understand cause u put in a file reference (=oModel) and not a reference to the baseview). I'am looking to place the general bend table in a form like this:

call oSheet.addGeneralTable(oBaseView, oPoint6)

Can't find it on the internet, can't find it on the forums, can't find it on API help, can't even make a style with the stylemanager. Any ideas? I added a picture which pinpoints the problem Did make a post on General Discussion, but no reply was given 😞

cheers!

This wishlist for creating a Bend Table using a drawing view as input was logged already, you can provide the number 1393344 to query its status.

@YuhanZhang Any news on this issue, log No.1393344? It seems that until now this feature still pending. In 2020, the user still cannot customize the Bend Table via API.
