Importing IGES files from Pro E to S.D. ver. 6.1

[Kevin Kirby]

We are importing sheet-metal parts into S.D. sheet-advisor from Pro E models. We are able to attach material attributes and use modify-sheet to punch, stamp, etc. However we are not able to change the bend radius and attach our shops bend attributes to the parts. When we unfold the parts S.D. uses the fallback bend deduction resulting in an incorrect flat pattern. S.D. doesn't recognize the bend radius as a blend. Is there an easy way to change the existing bend radius and attach our shops bend attributes? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Kevin, a little late but hope this helps. In version 6.5 or 7.0 of SolidDesigner there is a new functon called "blend recignition". This will allow SD to now se bends as blends so the unfold command should work much better.
