Combining bends in SolidWorks
Posted: Tue Jan 31, 2023 7:14 am
Hello everyone! I have been STUMPED and apparently in dire need of help. My fabrication shop has decided to put bend table in our drawings to help new press operators get adapted to the work and environment. I've done multiple ones and finally ran into a problem. We separate the bends by letters in the flat pattern. There's a particular shroud we do that has two technically separate bends, but both bends are done at the same time (I'll include a picture with the bends highlighted), and I'm stuck on how to combine them to not be bend "A" and bend "B", but both be A. I know that I can manually separate everything in the drawing, but that takes time and this will be a reoccurring problem, so I would rather find a better, more permanent solution.
- Bend table in case that helps the solution
- The drawing file. The tabs at the top, "A" and "B" need to change to "A" for both
- The bends in question are highlighted
