is it possible....
(OP)
I recieve iges files from one of our customers on a regular basis and up till now I have been able to take the iges part open it in SW use the insert bends command and viola! My part is flattened.
Recently I was given a iges part that had 4 bends and two different bend radii, When I insert bends the part is cut off after the first bend right before the start of the second bend. is there a way to flatten IGES parts with multiple bend radii?

Double-check the thicknesses and parallelism of each set of flange faces, all the way to 8 places for distance and angle. If the source is a CATIA file, don't be surprised if you find errors.

This helps insure you have a constant thickness throughout your part. It also allows a little more flexability if you need to change the material thickness.
