How To Insert A Bend Line
- Select an existing board outline shape. This needs to be a Board that is marked as a ‘flex’ board.
- Start the Line by single clicking the left button of the mouse at the start point in the design, and moving the cursor to the finish point of the Line. You can also ‘drag’ the line by holding down the left mouse button at the desired start position and moving (with the button still pressed down) to the end point.
The Line may be restricted to 45 degree steps or be any angle by checking the Free Movement option on the context menu.
Once a bend line has been added to the design, use the Bend Line Properties dialog for the selected bend line to define the Bending Angle and Radius.
