2.2.2. Bendlines and Layer selection with Line assignment
For a proper conversion, the assignment of specific product properties to lines in the DXF is
important.
Depending on the content of the DXF, the bendlines, contour and additional text information
can be assigned layer by layer. In case layer selection is set off, the bendlines are being
searched for automatically.
Bend line information
With the bendlines the angle information can be defined via text near the line. The text labels,
to be configured in Settings::Labels, can be used as follws:
• Default: normal air bending with a positive or negative value
• Hemming: an H followed by a positive or negative value of the pre-bend angle.
• Radius: an R followed by the value of the radius.
Definition:
• positive value: the flange bends upwards,
• negative value: the flange bends downwards.
Product information
Beside the actual product drawing a DXF drawing can contain other information, such as
manufacturer name, dimension lines, product description etc. If this information is organised
in other layers than the product drawing then this information can be filtered out by selecting
only certain layers for conversion. Otherwise, it possible to remove unnecessary information in
the converter program before conversion of the drawing is started.
Layer selection
Depending on the DXF import settings, which can be entered from the mainscreen, layer
selection can be set on or off.
In case of layer selection on, the layer property list visualisation can be switched. The buttons
in the left top corner enable this choice. Following paragraphs describe the difference between
Layer selection switched on and Layer selection switched off.
