Bend line note fomat
Bend line note fomat
(OP)
We like the ability to add an associative bendline note to our sheetmetal drawings in SW2006. The SW format is not what we prefer. We like to show the angle the part is bent up to. This angle is what our brake press operators like to use so they don't have to calculate it to enter it into the controller.example
SW BEND UP 45° R.09
Our preferred BEND UP TO 135° INCL R.09
I have been able to make the text changes by changing the bend note format text file. However, I can't figure out how to do the angle calculation. I think I might have to wire a visual basic macro to convert it. Any ideas?

I know this is the correct file. The trouble is anything I add to this file is just text or a Solidworks defined associative parameter.
All I want to do is something like 180 - <bend-angle>. Maybe I just don't know the proper syntax.
