Hi,

I would like to create a custom bend table, where K-factor depends on material, thickness, bend radius and angle.
In Sheet Metal Parameters I can add "Sheet Standards Files..." as described on the picture:

Until this point I have no any problem. The three design tables has been added to the part, just like the default thickness and radius.
But when I create a bend, the 'Allowance' is not taken any account. I mean the K factor doesn't change if I change the bend angle, It uses the same formula, where it depends on only the thickness and the radius.
the Help says if I add those design tables tha it works. Do you have any idea what I missed?
