Use this function to update the development of the active sheet after changes to the sheet part or the default settings.
Update 
You use this function to define the blank parameters of the developments created using the Develop sheet function. In the dialogue window, click the checkboxes for the parameters which you want to be shown in the blank.
If you want to specify the angles, you can choose between Bend angle and Aperture angle. Additional texts can be activated for the positive and negative angle.
Bend angle and bend radius can only be shown if the bend line is active.
Bend lines can be represented either as one continuous line or two short lines at the start and the end at the bend edge. Position, length, distance to outer contour, line type and colour can be set in the ABWCOL.DAT file. Positive and negative bend lines can be configured independently of each other.
If you activate the Tools option, the WZNR (tool number) from the corresponding catalogue column will be displayed in the development if the sheet has been processed with a punch tool.
Activate the With sub-parts checkbox if you also want them to be shown.
Only one dimensioning option is used for Dimension outer contour.
Once you have clicked OK to confirm your entries, the selected parameters are applied to new and existing blanks.
Please note:
- To display the allowance method in the development, you need to change the relevant setting in the ABWPAR.DAT file as follows:
Abwicklungsverfahren auf Schicht an 2D-Abwicklung ( -1: kein Eintrag, 0...999 -> Schichtnummer )
[Development method on layer for 2-D development (-1:no entry, 0.999-> layer number)]
1
- To display the bend angle for all segments of an interrupted bend line in the development, you need to change the relevant setting in the ABWPAR.DAT file as follows:
Bezeichnung der Biegelinien an längste(0) oder alle(1) Kanten einer unterbrochenen Biegelinie
[Designation of bend line on longest(0) or all(1) edges of an interrupted bend line]
0
You use this function to simplify a development with the aid of the zoom function.
- Use two diagonal points which enclose the contour corner to be simplified to define a zoom window.
This area is now displayed enlarged.
- Now specify the two graphical elements that need to be lengthened.
The corner is simplified. You can now process more developments or use the middle mouse button to end the function.
Use this function to change the scale of a development. You can assign a different scale to each development in the drawing. Proceed as follows:
- Identify the development.
- Select a scale.
- Identify a fixed point for the development.
- Identify the development.
- You can now modify the parameters. If you do not want to change the parameters, click the right mouse button.
The development will now be dimensioned. If you want to remove the dimensions, activate the 2-D Dimensions + Text tab and select Process > Extras > Part > Delete dimensioning.
