Sheet Metal - Drawing / Bend direction & angle annotation

Anonymous — Tue, 20 Nov 2018 19:40:28 GMT

When creating a drawing based on an unfolded sheet metal component, the bend lines neither indicate bend direction, bending radius nor bending angle amount.

Is it possible to automatically derive these values and insert into the drawing (like a length dimension)?

For example in the attached diagram, I would like to say "Bend B - 2.5mm Radius - 45 Degrees - Upward Direction" and have it automatically update as I adjust the original component dimensions/angles/etc.

Hi mirageKFA39,

Once you place the flat pattern view in your 2D drawing you have one of two options:

1. Use the Leader tool and select the bend line, this will add an associated bend note. Once placed you can select it and drag it using the grip and that will add a leader line to it. Double-click the bend note to edit the text.

2. Use the Table command and place a bend table. That will add a bend ID to each bend with a corresponding line in the table.

Thanks,
Chris
