NEW FEATURE: RECALCULATION OF INCOMING STRAIGHTS WITH NEW CENTERLINE RADII

BACKGROUND

When importing Supravision data to convert to Chiyoda or Keins FPB Data, there is the potential for the following scenarios:
1. The radius values in the Supravision data is slightly different than the radius values for the tools on the bender.
2. There are more radius values in the Supravision data than the bender allows.

ISSUE

This creates a problem where the LENGTHS between bends that are converted to FEED data are no longer precise.

SOLUTION

The solution is for Benderlink to give the opportunity to calculate new FEED distances when XYZ data exists in the Supravision data.

HOW IT WORKS

STEP 1 Open the import SV menu and press the Import Supravision button
STEP 2 Choose the Supravision file to import
STEP 3 Benderlink checks the number of XYZ points with the bend count	If there is a match (points = bends + 2) then this window is displayed.
STEP 4 Examine and modify the radii values	You can change any radius values found in the Supravision data by checking the check box, then entering a new radius value in the right box for each radius change.
STEP 5 Press the green CHECK MARK button to close and continue	This closes the window, replaces the radii values, then performs a new XYZ to LRA calculation. Click on the red X button if you want to cancel the selection and calculation.
STEP 6 Continue with the conversion of Supravision LRA to Chiyioda/KEINS FPB data
STEP 7 Conversion Message will be displayed	The conversion message will be displayed in the log in this menu. The conversion is complete
