Summary of Version 5
This version was released on July 1, 2008. It is a software is designed to convert from bender data to centerline XYZ coordinates of end points and intersection points for a tube shape. If you have bender data in any of these formats, you can calculate back to XYZ coordinates in space.
| Bend Data Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| LRA | Standard CNC Draw Bender | |
| YBC | Standard Eaton Leonard CNC Draw Bender | |
| Military 1 | Military Style Bender Data with Accumulated LENGTHs and ROTATIONS and draw bending | |
| Military 2 | Military Style Bender Data with Accumulated LENGTHs and ROTATIONS and compression bending | |
| Conrac | Like Military 1 | |
| Compression Bending | Bends that are made by pushing the tube around a stationary bend die with a wiper. This is the opposite of "draw" bending. | |
New Features As of July 1, 2008 - v5
This is a list of enhancements from the previous versions:
| Enhancement | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Convert From More Bender Data Types |  | |
| Much Improved User Interface | Screen sizes are increasing, so we've discarded the older TAB interface. This new interface shows all the data at the same time. Whenever you make a change to the bender data, the XYZ centerline data changes automatically and instantly. See the image at the right. | |
| Insert/Delete Rows with Popup Menu |  | |
| Print either Grid independently | Either the BENDER or XYZ grids can be printed independently | |
| Skinned Interface |  | |
| Custom Name the BENDER Columns | The bender data columns can now be custom-named. | |
| Warning Colored Cells |  | |
| Expandable Bender Data Pane |  | |
| Custom Grid Fonts | You can now choose the font name, size, and color in the two grids. | |
| Multi-Cell Selection for COPY Popup Menu |  | |
| Multi-Cell Selection for PASTE Popup Menu | Now you can choose multiple cells in the BENDER grid for PASTE from the Windows clipboard. Paste columns, rows, or entire sections of the grid. | |
| Reverse Bend Data |  | |
| Uses New v6 Network License Manager |  | |

Angular Data Input Possibilities
Bender to XYZ allows for entry of ANGLE data using either a standard floating point format or the "degrees-minutes-seconds" format. Examples of valid entries are:
| Angular Entry Type | Example | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Decimals | 90.51 | |
| 2 - Degrees-Minutes-Seconds | 90d30'30" is converted to 90.51 when exiting the cell. | |
| 3 - Any Combination of Degrees, Minutes, and Second | Any part of the DMS value may be left off and the floating point value will still be calculated properly. For example, all of these are value: 90d = 90.00, or 90d30' = 90.50, or 90d30" = 90.00 (when rounded to two places). | |
Demo Version
You can download an try a demo version that outputs randomized XYZ data. The licensed version (purchased) calculates precise XYZ data.
