Question

Bend editing in Flexible Modeling. Change default Anchor APEX and Bending editing option values.

Is it possible in sheetmetal flexible modeling to change the default options when editing a bend to have Anchor Apex active and use "Constant wall Height" as default for Bending editing option.

 

99.9998% of the time you want to change bend radii of a customer's solidworks/etc... file you don't want the flange to move or become larger. So the current default values creates extra work by having to select options to get the size and position back to normal.

 

The part dimensions should stay as in the original file by default.

As of now there is option to make Anchor Bend Apex and "Constant wall Height" as default. There is an article stating the same CS313374 and requesting to submit an Idea.
