VB & Solidworks -- Changing K-FACTOR on SM Part

VB & Solidworks -- Changing K-FACTOR on SM Part

VB & Solidworks -- Changing K-FACTOR on SM Part

(OP)
Hi,

We have standard sheet metal templates set
up for 10ga, 12ga, etc in solidworks for our
new parts.  I've automated the design process
& part creation through solidworks on several
of our company parts/assemblies.

I've come to some parts that need to be available
in multiple gauges of material but I am unable to
change the K-Factor for the std sheet metal part
material feature through API (so far)...

I can change the bend radius & part thickness on
the sheet metal material feature but can't seem
to access the k-factor on the standard sheet
metal feature.

Does anyone have some sample code or any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Try:

CustomBendAllowance.KFactor = kFactor

You can get to underneath SheetMetalFeatureData and CustomBendAllowance.
