Setting the Value of Y Factor and K Factor
To set the value of Y factor and K factor use one of these methods:
• Use board parameters:
◦ BOARD_PART_BEND_ALLOW_FACTOR_TYPE—Sets Y factor or K factor as the bend allowance factor type.
◦ BOARD_PART_BEND_ALLOWANCE_FACTOR—Sets the value of Y factor or K factor.
These parameters can also be set using the Bend Allowance area of the Preferences dialog box.
• Create feature-specific bend allowance using the Bend Allowance tab of the segment creation tools.
• Use the Miscellaneous tab of the Material Definition dialog box when the BOARD_UPDATE_BEND_ALLOW_INFO parameter is set to Yes. Type a new factor value in the Initial Bend Y-Factor box. The material assigned to the part drives the Y factor, K factor, and bend table, which update when a new material is assigned to the part.
You can also set the part material to drive bend allowance using the Bend Allowance area of the Preferences dialog box. Click Use assigned material to define the value of the bend allowance parameters.

 The parameters are driven by part relations. If you change the relations it might break association between the parameters and the value of the Y factor assigned to the part material. |
