 *'''Die Name:''' The name given to the die. This will be the what the die is called throughout the software.
 *'''Achieved CLR:''' The CLR that the die will actually produce when bending. This value compensates for spring-back and other factors that contribute to inaccuracies in the CLR of a bend.
 *'''Calibrated CLR:'''  This is a value that is generated and used by the software to ensure accuracy. In general, this value should be 5 to 20% larger than the achieved CLR (''the actual CLR that the die will produce''). '''''To get this value, the calibration wizard or the OEM Die List must be used'''''.
 *'''Bend Location Offset:''' The offset distance between the mark on the tube and the actual starting point of the bend. For example, if the bend offset is 0, the bend starts exactly where the mark is placed.
 *'''Default:''' When the default check box is checked, the currently selected die will be the default die. The default die will be automatically selected in the die selection menu when a new part design is opened.
 *'''Minimum Start Length:''' This is the shortest amount of tube length allowed at the very beginning of the tube before the first bend. This measurement will start at the starting end of the tube and end at the start of the first bend when the bend is as close to the starting edge as possible.
 *'''Minimum End Length:''' This is the shortest amount of tube length allowed at the end of the tube after the last bend. The measurement will begin at the ending edge of the last bend and end at the end of the tube when the bend is as close to the end of the tube as possible.
 *'''Minimum Distance Between Bends without Rotation:''' This is the shortest amount of tube length allowed between bends that have no rotation.
 *'''Minimum Distance Between Bends with Rotation:''' This is the shortest amount of tube length allowed between bends that have rotation. For example, the distance allowed between two bends with a 180° between them.
 :'''''Note:''''' ''The minimum start length, minimum end length, minimum distance between bends without rotation, and minimum distance between bends with rotation will be used to check for manufacturing errors if the [[Manufacture Checking|manufacture checking]] plug-in is included with the current version of software.
