How to Reverse Engineer Using Split Bend
|
The Split Bend feature allows you to accurately measure bends that equal or exceed 180 degrees. |
STEP 1: Enter PART SETUP Data
|
Enter the Part Setup data for the new part. Especially enter the DEFAULT RADIUS. (You can measure the radius if necessary in Measure Process.) |
|
STEP 2: Populate the MASTER TUBE DATA Grid
|
Since the Split Bend feature creates a grid based on the number of straights in the MASTER data, it is important to set the number of points that you will be measuring in the reversed tube. |

Move the Tube During Measure
|
It is also possible to move the tube if you attach the targets securely to the tube, then use the leapfrog feature. For example, you can use a standard metal spring clamp to attach to the tube, then place the magnetic target on the clamp handle. The Steps for Tube Move
