This function enables you to attach sketched, closed polylines. The drawn sketch defines the surface of the new flange.
Bend lines can now be represented either as one continuous line or two short lines at the start and the end of the bend edge. Position, length, distance to outer contour, line type and colour can be set in the ABWCOL.DAT file. (SP1)
Increased performance
The synchronisation of sheet-specific data when updating referenced parts has been speeded up. (SP1)
Change all bend radii
Use this function to change all bend radii of the active part at once. (SP1)
Use this function to mark the position of adjacent parts on a sheet metal flange. The marking takes place in such a way that all outer edges of the parallel surface are projected as edges onto the flange The edge colour to be used is freely selectable. These edges can then be included in the sheet development process. The sheet developments support the HiCAD standard functionality for DXF outputs, including the output of edges as 2-D lines with the specified edge colour parameters. The edge creation also supports the functionalities of DSTV-NC powder marking line generation. (SP1)
3-D parts, solids and freeform surfaces can now also be developed analytically.
Context menu (RMB)
The context menu for sheet processing has been expanded, enabling you to access even more functions with a mouse-click. (SP1)
Material
The materials for sheets and profiles (DIN EN 10025 and 10225) in the catalogue have been expanded. The assigning of materials takes place via the ICN: Right-click the desired sheet and select Properties > Material. (SP1)
The flange can now be rotated during the fitting process.
Right-click to rotate the flange into positive X-direction.
You can specify in the ABWPAR.DAT file whether you want to show the bend angle for all segments of an interrupted bend line.
Workshop drawings showing developments, blanks with section paths and 3-D views are an essential prerequisite for an accurate work preparation and production. For the creation and management of these important documents, the Steel Engineering tab now offers an additional option enabling you to create (besides Steel Engineering workshop drawings) Sheet Metal Engineering workshop drawings.
You can define a coating for sheet metal parts and take it over into the part attributes.
You have now the option to deactivate feature logging during creation of a base sheet.
You can now export several BOM-relevant sheet blanks within a drawing to DXF format in one step.
