Hello all,
I have a problem regarding a custom bend table that I wrote. I basically started with the sample bend deduction table that comes with Swx and edited the values per our standards.
Here is my problem...
Let's say I design a new sheet metal part with a 3/16 bend radius and 3/16 thick material. The custom bend table has a value linked to these criteria and everything is groovy. Let's say my boss comes by like he does ~10x a day and changes his mind and wants to use some off the wall bend radius like 1 1/4.
Well, 1 1/4 is not a value that I have written into my custom table so I go edit the table and save it. When I go back to Swx, it acts as though this change never happened and says my bend radius falls outside of the table.
I have tried several things to rectify this problem:
-I have switched to a different table and switched back to the custom one. Or switched to K-factor and switched back to the custom table. No success.
-I have deleted the bend feature and recreated it after changes have been made to the table. No success.
-And of course I have tried the obvious like Ctl-Q, Close/Reopen the drawing, etc.
Any ideas on how I can purge and reload my custom bend table?
