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.

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.

New - Two Save Buttons

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.

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.

New - SVNET Setup Menu

Objects have been re-arranged in the menus to allow for more logical placement on the screen in Benderlink. Objects have been moved new SVNET Setup menu

There are three sub-menus in the SVNET menu:

1. Network Path - Setup for the common SVNET path for communications
2. Client - Setup for features where Benderlink calls out to the bender or sends data to the bender.
3. Server - Setup for Benderlink's ability to respond to commands from the bender.
