To Create a Bend with a Surface Reference
1. Click > 
Bend. The Bend tab opens.
Bend. The Bend tab opens.2. Select a surface on which to place the bend. Placement handles appear on the surface reference.
3. Perform one of the following operations:
◦ In the Model Tree or in the graphics window, select a sketch (a single linear section) as a reference for the bend line geometry.
◦ Click Bend Line. The Bend Line tab opens. Click Sketch and sketch a bend line.
◦ Set the bend line end references as follows:
1. Select an edge or a vertex reference for the first end of the bend line.
If an edge is selected, select an offset reference and type a value for the offset distance.
2. Repeat step a to place the second end of the bend line.
4. Click a Bend Area Position command to locate the bend line in relation to the bend area.
◦ 
Starts at Bend Line—The bend area starts at the bend line.
Starts at Bend Line—The bend area starts at the bend line.◦ 
Ends at Bend Line—The bend area ends at the bend line.
Ends at Bend Line—The bend area ends at the bend line.◦ 
Centered on Bend Line—The bend line is in the middle of the bend area.
Centered on Bend Line—The bend line is in the middle of the bend area.5. Set the value of the bend radius.
6. Set the dimension location:
◦ 
—Dimensions the bend from the outside surface.
—Dimensions the bend from the outside surface.◦ 
—Dimensions the bend from the inside surface.
—Dimensions the bend from the inside surface.◦ 
—Dimensions the bend according to the location set by the BOARD_RADIUS_SIDE parameter.
—Dimensions the bend according to the location set by the BOARD_RADIUS_SIDE parameter.7. Click 
Angle to create an angled bend or click 
Roll to create a rolled bend.
Angle to create an angled bend or click Roll to create a rolled bend.8. Set the value of the bend angle.
9. Set the method to measure the bend angle:
◦ 
—Dimensions the bend angle by measuring the resulting internal angle.
—Dimensions the bend angle by measuring the resulting internal angle.◦ 
—Dimensions the bend angle by measuring the deflection from straight.
—Dimensions the bend angle by measuring the deflection from straight.10. To change the default relief, perform the following tasks:
a. Click Relief. The Relief tab opens.
b. Select a different type of relief from the list, or click Define each side separately and select a side and a relief type.
For Rectangular and Obround relief, set the depth and thickness.
