Options

• :BASE_FACE specifies the base face for the view.
• :SHOW_DOWNSIDE specifies the flat view to account for both sides (:ON) or just one side (:OFF).
• :SUMMARY specifies whether statistical information is to be written to a named text file (:ON) or not (:OFF).
• :BEND_ALLOWANCE_SHOP instructs Annotation to use shop data. The specific shop is determined in Sheet Metal. This is mutually exclusive with :BEND_ALLOWANCE_FIXED.
• :BEND_ALLOWANCE_FIXED specifies the K-factor for the cylinder allowance.
• :CONE_ALLOWANCE specifies the K-factor for the cone allowance. It is independent of the cylinder allowance K-factor.
• :SHARP_BEND_RADIUS specifies the radius of the inner radius of sharp bends of the sheet metal design. The outer bend radius is the specified value plus the material thickness.
