Question

Change K factor system wide

Is there a way to change the K factor system wide?

I know that I can change it with edit definition on each bend, but I'd like to change it system wide.

We work with metal steel plate, usually thicker than 15.7mm, and the designated K factor (0.318) is not correct, according to my supervisor.

Please let me know and thank you!

    You could use a sheetmetal start part with the appropriate k-factor or bend table assigned.

    .. and you should use start parts as steel and aluminium have different k-factors.

    How do I set the K factor before modeling? As of now I can only see to add the option via edit definition on an actual bend.
