Sheet metal bends quantity

Sheet metal bends quantity

In sheetmetal a user can create a bend order sequence. This means setting up a bend order sequence in the sheet metal part that can later be accessed by the drawing and displayed with Show Model Annotations to display a bend order table.

In that report there is a line item referring to the number of bends. 

It would be very useful to have a sheet metal parameter that has the total number of bends in a sheet metal part, that can be referenced without the need to create a bend order table and manually inspect the table to report the total number of bends.

Could a sheet metal parameter be added that updates automatically and lists the number of bends in a part as an integer eg. SMT_PART_BEND_QTY

Can you outline in more detail how, when , where this parameter would be used?

- only for callouts on drawings?

- as parameter to windchill

- in relations

- other?

 

- if in future we supported multiple SMT bodies in Sheetmetal, would you need the number per body, or only the sum within the part, or both?
