Is there a way to show which bend option was used to generate the bend notes?
We normally use "bend deduction". The issue we face is that sometimes "bend allowance" or another process is selected.
The bend note text just yields values and unless you run the math, you don't really know if the value generated is valid.
We are looking for a visual que with the bend notes to "see" which process was used.
I am looking for a parametric or embedded solution, not a manual one.
Can anyone help?
I would like to look at a flat pattern drawing, read the bend info and be able to determine which process was used.
Thanks in advance...Randy

So in attempt to review this post and maybe "bump" the message, must have toggled assumed answered.
I would really like an answer if one exists.

The only answer that I can give you Randal is that I have never found one. I have investigated this while trying to answer questions on the forum since I never use a flat pattern in my drawings. The only thing I have been able to come up with is to type BD= or K-factor= or BA= prior to <bend allowance> depending on what I used in my part file. Personally most of the time it would be BD= but there are times when I use BD & K-factor. Therefore you have to remember what is used and where. Doesn't seem right, does it? Ok,, I've done my bit in keeping this post going.
