Regarding the sheet metal drawing in "Unfolded state", how do I add a custom note in "Folding Notes"?
Currently, I use the following information: <bend-direction> <bend-angle>
I want to replace R <bend-radius> with a new automated custom note.
This new personalized note would be taken from my sheet metal template. In my need, I would like to use the template number corresponding to the thickness of sheet metal and the tooling used - see attached image).
After several fruitless searches on the web, I think it was not possible to create another note...
@stefbeno For the file, I knew that. Thank you anyway:)
@Bart At the moment, my production plans just have the thickness and the radius. The fact of putting the used vee allows me to justify myself for the calculation of the unfolded. Wiser than putting the radius even if it depends on the vehicle... In short, redoing a line in the form doesn't really appeal to me, it does one more thing to do and goes against my current policy of reducing CAD tasks (even the simplest ones)... :D
The only solution I had found to display the EV on the MEP was for me to create a custom property using the smart properties.
Basically, I created a custom property "Bend radius" (with property of the referenced document) which retrieves the value of the bend radius, then a custom property Vé which defines the Vé according to the Bend radius Vé=(IFF($Rayon=1.3|8|IFF($Rayon=2|12|err)
This is for me the only way found to display my EV in the MEP.
Even if it's a roundabout way, on the other hand if you find how to create a personalized note in the folding notes I'm the 1st taker!
@sbadenis, question a bit off-topic but rather interesting for me :) . What is the purpose of the "err" value in your equation? Vé=(IFF($Rayon=1.3|8|IFF($Rayon=2|12|err)
It's just done because if someone chooses a bend radius for a sheet thickness that is not possible, then on the plan the annotation on the plane "ep.xmm Vé de x" is replaced by another annotation "Error Ve" and suddenly we know that the press is not good because the parameters chosen in the part are wrong. This annotation is still dependent on another FRFI.
We put this because despite a template table it happens that some people forced the bending radius without paying attention and suddenly the development of the sheet metal was totally wrong because no value was entered in the loss table in the excel fold.
@sbadenis I haven't found any other method currently... I'm studying other solutions than smartproperties (where I work they don't have it). Thank you for your answers, everyone!
