Hi all,
I did a sheet metal part using loft bend. But am not getting bend lines at all.. I know that SW requires me to define corners to help it in putting bend lines.
But i dont know how to do. I have attached the file. Can any body tell how do i create bend lines for part like this
thx

If you do a part like a square to round as I described, to get the bend lines to show up, you have to put short little lines in the upper "round" sketch. Then you will see that the bend lines are calculated as emminating from the "square" corners on the bottom and fanning out on the top in between the upper lines. Yours doesn't have any corners. I suspect that's the issue - yours doesn't match the narrow band of parts that will fit the pattern for bend lines. Your part should be rolled, not bumped, and if that's the case, then I presume it doesn't know where to start and stop the bend hit patterns.
