I need help with bent metal sheet from DXF to SW
(OP)
Hi, I would like to make a SW 3D model of some dxf's
These files are bent profiles with instructions to be laser marked and then cut and bended
Here is one file: http://peu.net/temp/bendquestion.zip
Whats the shortest path to make a 3D model of it? I have 23 files to model :)
Thanks in advance

I never worked with bends in SW, can you walkme thru the process of bending a sketch?
Thanks!
I use SW2007, no need to upgrade yet :)

I think this is because the part has already bent parts that are over this line, even if I make the bent line sketch small enough to fit inside the tab I receive this error.
Also tried to do this bend before any other and failed too.
How should I do it?
Thanks!
