Automatic—Automatically selects all unbent geometry references.◦ 
Manual—Manually selects individual unbent geometry references.
Manual—Manually selects individual unbent geometry references.• 
Fixed Geometry reference collector—Displays a planar surface or edge reference that remains fixed during the bend back operation.
Fixed Geometry reference collector—Displays a planar surface or edge reference that remains fixed during the bend back operation.• 
—When a nontangent edge is selected, flips the side of the edge that remains fixed during a bend back operation.
—When a nontangent edge is selected, flips the side of the edge that remains fixed during a bend back operation. | The part-level fixed geometry reference is used as the default feature reference. |
Tabs
• References
Use the References tab to add and remove unbent and fixed geometry references.
◦ Unbent geometry—Displays manually selected unbent surface or edge references in the collector.
◦ Fixed geometry—Displays the planar surface or edge reference that remains fixed during a bend back operation.
◦ Flip—When a nontangent edge is selected, flips the side of the edge that remains fixed during a bend back operation.
• Bend Control
Use the Bend Control tab to set which contours that partially intersect a bend line to remain flat during a bend back operation.
◦ Bend Contour References list—Displays all the automatically detected contours that are partially intersected by a bend line.
◦ Bend contour—Bends back the selected contour reference.
◦ Keep flat—Does not bend back the selected contour reference.
• Properties
Use the Properties tab to display detailed feature information.
◦ Name—Shows a name for the feature.
◦
