Add Bend Feature to assembly/weldment

[Anonymous]

I am utilizing a weldment that requires a bend after welding. In the current setup (I'm running inventor 2019), I must derive a part in order to bend it, while maintaining the link. This works but adds additional unneeded and unwanted files to vault. It would be nice if I could do all of this within the weldment, utilizing a positional rep or post weld machining. This could also be useful when adding parts to assemblies which will be bent around something, that may not have a consistent bend.

Very nice idea. Especially it will help to understand material orders to possibility of creation of  a bend or not.

Hello @Anonymous 

  This will still be a great addition to a workflow.  I have some users here and in India asking for that capability.  I can see it being used in both the Preparation and Machining stages of a Weldment.

  Perhaps even within an Assembly, although that may be a stretch workflow-wise...

Thanks,
