PTC uses a Y-factor, not a K-factor that the rest of the world uses.

See my posting from earlier this week for a link to an explanation of the two.

The config.pro setting is: initial_bend_y_factor and the default is .5.

Once you are in Creo and a sheetmetal part, you can change the part parameters to use the K-factor.

This will set the factor type: SMD_PART_BEND_ALLOW_FACTOR_TYPE

This will set the allowance you want:SMD_PART_BEND_ALLOWANCE_FACTOR
