Common Parameters of Sheet Metal Commands > Bend Baseline |
|
A baseline can be defined by two 3D points or a 3D object capable of determining a straight line. The baseline serves several purposes: it allows the system to define the body being deformed and the base face of bending, determines the position and size of the bend area, determines the possibility of creating one or another type of bending.
The baseline must lie in the plane of one of the workpiece faces being bent (normally, the top or bottom face). The baseline does not have to fully fit within the boundaries of a base face; however, at least some its portion must belong to the face.

The face to which the baseline belongs is the base face of bending. The base face is used as the base reference when defining bending parameters.
1 - fixed part, 2 - bend line, 3 - bent part, 4 - rotatable part
The boundary between the fixed part of the workpiece and the bend zone will be called the bend line.
