Hi Guys,
I would like to set my defaults to the value I use the most.
I do 90% of sheet metal work with Bend Deduction ( BD 4.9900 ) and I need this value to be DEFAULT so I ont have to change anything those 90% of the time.
At the moment the K0.5 is my default which I don't want.
Where should I look? I have look everywhere but I am missing something.
Thank you very much for your inputs .....
Thank you Bernie,
so the templates didn't sort properly or what?
What you are saying is that I could have10 or number of numerous templates for different materials with different B deductions?
Thank you again.
Fred,
I said that incorrectly. Having material thickness names forced me to look through all of them in the directory search. I had my standard 90 degree sharp bends and deductions set up for my most common material thicknsses and named the templates that way. For instance, 028crs, 031al, 035gal, etc. So when I worked with 11 gauge I had to look through them all. A wall chart and my memory is working fine with less directory clutter.
Sorry, yes. You can have as many templates as you need.

Hi Bernie,
I am just trying my templates and I do like it. It is pretty easy and very straight forward.
Thank you again for sharing your sheet metal experience. It helps me a lot.
Have a great day.
Ps:
Just out of curiosity, where is the place to change defaults for the bend? It must be somewhere:-)
I am not able to find it....
Fred,
You'll have to 'set' each one up initially. Then save the part template. I had each one with a Base-Flange started. Then I would just edit the size and go from there. If you have any standard type parts, start from there.
You're welcome!
You read my mind....I was just about to ask you about the base-flange start :-)
Thank you again and good night from late time in Brisbane.....
Fred,
It would be easy enough to set up a default or extra part templete. I tried to set up ones for the various materials I used. Keeping track of them wasn't worth it and they didn't sort properly. I do it from memory now. I think gauge tables might be somewhere to look too for you.
