To Create a Bend by Offsetting a Bend Line or an Edge
1. Click
Model >
Bend. The
Bend tab opens.
2. Select an edge or curve as an offset reference for the bend line.
Alternatively, first select the geometry and then click
Bend.
Use the following configuration options to control the default values and behavior of selected tool settings:
◦ board_drive_tools_by_parameters—Uses parameter values as the default values of selected tool settings and to automatically update features when parameter values change.
◦ board_drive_bend_by_parameters—Uses parameter values to control the default value of bend angle and bend dimension location settings and to automatically update features when parameter values change.
|  If you want to enable board_drive_bend_by_parameters, you must also set board_drive_tools_by_parameters to yes. |
3. Click Placement. The Placement tab opens. Click Offset bend line.
4. Set the offset distance. Type a value in the box, drag the handle, or double-click a value.
5. Click a Bend Placement button to locate the bend in relation to the bend line.
◦ 
—Bends the material up to the bend line.
◦ 
—Bends the material on the other side of the bend line.
◦ 
—Bends the material on both sides of the bend line.
6. Set the value of the bend radius.
7. Set the dimension location:
◦ 
—Dimensions the bend from the outside surface.
◦ 
—Dimensions the bend from the inside surface.
◦ 
—Dimensions the bend according to the location set by the
BOARD_RADIUS_SIDE parameter.
8. Click
to create an angled bend or click
to create a rolled bend.
9. Set the value of the bend angle. Type a value in the box, drag the handle, or double-click a value.
10. 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 deflection from straight.
11. 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.
