Annotation with a link to sheet metal k-factor

Annotation with a link to sheet metal k-factor

(OP)
I'd like a standard note for sheet metal flat patterns showing the k-factor in the part. Is this possible? I looked unsuccessfully for a property named k-factor, and also tried adding <k-factor> to the bendnoteformat.txt file. No love so far.

We use different k-factors based on process - press brake, folding machine, stamping press, etc. and it's helpful for our records and for production to know what was used. BTW, I thought this had been asked before but I couldn't find anything here with a search. If you know of links to previous discussions please post them.

Thanks for any help. Diego
