Check.jpg New - Automatically Reduce the LAST Length with Bend Reduction

Benderlink for SolidWorks already reduced the cut-length. But now it also reduces the last length of tube in the bender data using the Bend Reduction formula from the Bend Reduction Editor.


Check.jpg New - Color Coding for Quick Identification of MASTER or INSPECTION

Blinksw colorcode data.jpg

From this point on, the user interface will use color to distinquish between MASTER and INSPECTED.

  • BLUE will be identified with MASTER data.
  • GREEN will be identified with INSPECTED data.



Check.jpg New - Swap Ends Feature

New pulldown menus are added to Benderlink for SolidWorks that allows you to swap the tube end for end. Both the MASTER and INSPECTED data can be swapped.

When the swap occurs, the data is recalculated like this:

  1. The LRA (bender) data is recalculated from XYZ data.
  2. The Bend Reduction formula is used to recalculate the last length reduction at the other end of the tube.



Check.jpg New - Two Save Buttons

Blinksw twosavebuttons.jpg

We've added two save buttons rather than one in order to skip the modal dialog that required a choice for which type of data you were saving.


Check.jpg New - Log Buttons

New buttons are now on the top of each log.

  1. The SAVE buttons allow you to quickly save the MASTER or INSPECTED data.
  2. The CLEAR buttons allow you to quickly clear the MASTER or INSPECTED data.
  3. The LEFT and RIGHT buttons are new features that allow you to copy the data in either log to the other log.



Check.jpg New - Calculations After Open File and Load

Blinksw opendatafile.jpg

The Open File feature now performs the following calculations after loading a file:

  1. The LRA (bender) data is recalculated from XYZ data.
  2. The Bend Reduction formula is used to recalculate the last length reduction at the other end of the tube.
