Template Table

3D Design Sheet Metal / Machine Welded

Hello

We use Solidworks 2018 SP 4.0

We have established our own template table (loss at the bend) by doing multiple bend tests.

Lately, when I create a part and apply the template table, for example checker plate alu 5052 1/4 with a 50mm die, solidworks does not apply the template table and the part does not unfold and solidworks gives me an error message ( The bend area table is not found. Select another one or specify a -k factor)

The funniest thing is that, when I edit the sheet metal and I apply the sheet metal again on the same part, magic!! It unfolds. ( Weird )

Does anyone know how to get the sheet metal to be applied without me going back to edit it?

I have attached the example to you.....

Solidworks 2018 SP 4.0 as well and it works perfectly with us. You wouldn't have a problem between the template table and the folding table. If you can join us the tables I could try if I have 5mn.

Hello

This template table is designed to be used in a variety of ways. Is it an Excel file? (I don't practice sheet metal tools). If so, check the extension: if the file extension is .xlsx, save your table in the format "excel 97-2003 workbook", and see if it works.
