Custom CLR Tutorial

Introduction

This tutorial will step through the process of applying customized CLR values to a part's bends using the Custom CLR plug-in.

The custom CLR plug-in allows CLR values to be given to individual bends instead of adding a die. Adding a custom CLR will basically act exactly like a die, but will not be stored or have any other value except the achieved CLR.

Tutorial

Note

Before starting the tutorial, a part must be created. This tutorial will be using the part that was created in the Linear 2D Designer Tutorial. Please complete the Linear 2D Designer tutorial before proceeding.

Step 1

The second, third, and fourth bends will be given custom CLR values. First, in each die menu for these bends, click the drop down menu and select the "---" option. Doing so will allow values to be given in the CLR fields to the right of the menu.

Step 2

In the second bend's CLR field, enter 165. See image below.

Step 3

In the third bend's CLR field, enter 233.

Step 4

In the fourth bend's CLR field, enter 78.

Step 5

In the results table at the top of the window, each custom CLR value will be shown in the CLR column for bends 2, 3, and 4.
