Bend lines - Up or Down

Bend lines - Up or Down

Bend lines - Up or Down

(OP)
Hi,

Is there a way to show on a draft which side the sheet metal has to be bend to get the final piece ? Often, there are draft reading mistakes when a piece is fold and I'd like the draft to be clear on the side of the bend to be make.

Thanks  

RE: Bend lines - Up or Down

I have attached a screenshot of one of our drafts which we then save to a dwg and email to the lasercutting guys. We use the "Bend Table" function to add the bending lines. We use a "Quicksheet Template" so it is only a matter of seconds to create a draft like this.

Regards,
Theodore

RE: Bend lines - Up or Down

have a look in the bend table properties - this will give you the format to can use in your callouts, for example -

BEND %IA %BO.
