The custom CLR plug-in allows bends to be given customized CLR values. The purpose of this plug-in is to design a part using the current die to replicate another part that would be made with a completely different die/CLR. For example, if a part requires a 50mm CLR and the closest available CLR is a 40mm, adding a 50mm custom CLR will adjust the part lengths so the part will match up as close as possible to the intended part design, but with a differing CLR.

The custom CLR plug-in allows a custom CLR value to be applied to a bend. If a certain die CLR is not available in the die library, this function can be used to simulate the needed CLR value. Applying a custom CLR is just like adding a different die to a single bend, but a value is entered instead.

Description

The custom CLR plug-in allows a custom CLR value to be applied to a bend. If a certain die CLR is not available in the die library, this function can be used to simulate the needed CLR value. Applying a custom CLR is just like adding a different die to a single bend, but a value is entered instead.


How To

Add a Custom CLR

To add a custom CLR to a part, first click the individual bend's die drop down menu and select the "---" option at the top. Once this option is chosen, the field below the CLR icon will be available to type in. Enter a custom CLR value into this field.

The given CLR value will be applied to the part model in the part display and will be included in the bend chart at the top of the designer frame.
