Flange Group (Bending Operation)

The group combines bending operations. The bending operations are in a pop-up list in the Ribbon, the main operation is Flange. All the operations have a common interface and the ability to switch between operations in the parameters dialog.

The bending operations can be subdivided into shape-changing - Bend, Cut and Bend – and shape-forming Flange, Hem, Contour Flange.

Depending on the given base bending line the system automatically selects a preliminary bending type. The selecting criterion is the kind and way of setting the base line. E.g. if you choose a lateral edge of a workpiece as the base bending line, the system will offer to create a flange. In case of open profile inside the workpiece option folding will be selected. The result of the selection can be seen in the command dialog in the parameter window.

You can change the variant offered by the system by choosing another variant from the list.
