About Bend Order Tables
Bend order tables show the ordering of bend features in a sheet metal design. A bend order table is constructed by fully unbending a part and recording the bend back process. Bend order tables are used to prepare the model for manufacture and are typically added to sheet metal drawings. They can be saved as a <partname>.bot file. Bend order tables have one or more associated bend order sequences, each containing the following information:
• Bend #—Bend order creation number.
• Bend Location—Surface reference for the bend placement.
• Bend Direction—Bend creation method:
◦ In—Convex bends on the driving side that are less than 180°
◦ Out—Concave bend on the driving side that are greater than 180°.
• Bend Angle—Angle of the bend.
• Bend Radius—Radius of the bend.
• Bend Length—Length of the bend.
