Customized display of sheet metal bending parameters

By default, when inserting a flat sheet metal drawing, they appear line and bending notes. However, you can influence this, what will be displayed above or below the bending line.

However, I have a suggestion.

If you simply add the missing parameters by clicking the appropriate icons – the drawing becomes illegible. Of course, you can add e.g. k=0.74 (k is the coefficient) e.t.c., but you would have to add it every time…

Therefore, a better way will be to permanently change the file bendnoteformat.txt. You will find it in the installation directory.

Now all you need to do is add the appropriate string of characters to the editable file, in my case: k=<bend-allowance> n:<bend-order>. K stands for coefficient “k”, while n – bending sequence.

Ready!

remember, that information is generated at the moment of creating the drawing, so the whole operation doesn't work backwards.
