If you have loaded a drawing from which a postprocessed bending program already exists,
there is a third option when you enter the bend sequence menu:
If you have drawn a new product in the menu "Product drawing" and you enter the bend
sequence menu for the first time, there is no existing bend sequence and postprocessed pro-
gram yet, these previously mentioned selections are not shown.

Minimum bending length
The minimum possible bending length will be calculated from the V-opening parameter (½ V),
but also depends on the angle to bend and the thickness of the material to be bend, see figure
2.z. If the programmed value for the wanted product does not correspond with the minimum
possible length, you will get a warning message on the screen.

Machine/Tool selection
At each bend you can select one of the tools or machine shapes which are present in your
library. The displayed number is the number of the tool and machine part which is presently
selected.
Entering a new number will select another tool or machine part which will be drawn directly
on the screen.
With the "enter" key you can toggle between punch-, die-, machine upper- and lower part num-
ber.
It is also possible to turn the punch and die with respect to the machine shapes. To achieve this,
the tool number must be programmed negative.
