Sheet Metal > Further functions
In the Further functions function group you can find various functions for adjusting or processing of sheets, bend zones and flanges.
If you directly activate a sheet via right-click, these functions will appear in a context menu, and no identification of the sheet will be necessary.

You can insert the overbend table with the bend radii and bend angles into your drawing. To do this, define a fitting point for the table. In the first two columns you can find the bend radius ri and the bend angle alpha, which you have set for attaching in the technology parameters. In the last two columns you can find the values for the production of the sheet. They are material-dependent . |

When loading older Sheet Metal model drawings (HiCAD 2) a message will be displayed, announcing that the old sheets will be converted. If you do not want this, you can use this function to convert the sheets manually. Identify the base sheet and confirm the message Current sheet! with OK. |
