Back to: Bend
In this lesson we will cover the manual interaction options.
Aside from generating bend solutions the interface is fully interactive with a minimal need for clicking icons.
Clicking on a back gauge will allow you to move and position it either through dragging it to a new position or making changes by typing in or clicking new options in the Gauge dialog box. The gauge dialog box allows easy gauge placement by clicking on Auto-place or subsequently clicking on Flip Part and scrolling through all the bends by clicking previous and next.
Tooling like gauges can be easily changed by simply clicking on the tool and picking from the tool dialog box.
