  6. Click to place the bend table on the drawing sheet.

Tip:

  • To make changes to the bend table content or formatting after you place it, right-click the table and choose Properties.

  • You can specify the information to display in the bend callouts using the Callout Properties dialog box. On the General tab, click the Bend buttons corresponding to the bend information you want to display: Bend Angle, Bend Radius, Bend Direction, Bend Sequence, Bend Quantity, and Included Angle. To make changes to bend callouts, you can do either of the following:

    • To modify one callout, right-click the callout and choose Properties.

    • To modify all callouts on the active sheet, Select all similar elements with SmartSelect.

  • You can use the Derive bend direction from drawing views option on the Annotation tab (Solid Edge Options dialog box) to specify that the bend direction is based on the up and down direction of the flat pattern drawing view rather than the model. This is useful when you do not know which side of the flattened model is designated the top.
