Can i bend a tube?
(OP)
I created a tubular part and now need to add a 45 Deg. bend in it. Is there a way I can do this without starting over from scratch?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

You can tack a sweep onto the end of a revolve or extrude. This makes for an ugly feature tree, though, but will save your faces (in case they are used as mate references).
I often use sweep for straight tubes on the chance they will need bends added later on.
