Bending machine output not available

Marshall.Le — Wed, 01 Jun 2022 19:16:00 GMT

Hi everyone,

I'm starting to use Tube and pipe environment to create pipe to generate a bending table for the workshop.

But that option is not available

I tried to follow the steps:

"'2. In the browser or graphics window, right-click the tube segment, and then select Bending Machine Output from the context menu."

But there isn't Bending Machine Output in my Inventor.

Hope someone can point me in the right direction to get the Bending Machine out put

@CCarreiras

That document is from 2014. However, I looked in the Help for 2023, and the steps are very similar.

@Marshall.Le I looked at this using your files, and even tried creating a new Run with a bent route of my own... just to be sure. I can not find the BMO in the context menu either. I've talked about this with @johnsonshiue , so he is also aware of this. Can you tell us what version of Inventor you are using?

Thank you very much for raising the question for me.
My Inventor version is 2022.

Kind regards
Marshall

Hi @Marshall.Le,

currently Bending Machine Output command is available only for segment they are created using "Tubing with Bends" style, but we see your request as legitimate for segment with Custom Bend created using "Rigid Pipe with Fittings" style.

Thank you for your improvement suggestion, for easier tracking I am pasting here ID to our tracking system - wish is tracked as the INVGEN-62126
