Sequential reorder of bend in flat pattern

  1. On the ribbon, click Flat Pattern tab Manage panel Bend Order Annotation . The Bend Order glyphs appear.
  2. Right-mouse click and select Sequential Reorder from the context menu.
  3. Click the Bend Order glyph to number 1 in the sequence. The selected glyph changes to an override glyph and the remaining glyphs are renumbered.
  4. Click the Bend Order glyph that you want to be next in the specified sequence. Repeat this step until you have the desired bend sequence.
  5. When the bend sequence is acceptable, right-mouse click and select Done from the context menu (or click Esc). The Bend Order Annotation command is still active and any glyph selections display the Bend Order Edit dialog box, allowing an individual override.
  6. When you have completed edits to the bend order sequence, right-mouse click and select Finish Bend Order from the context menu (or click Esc). All Bend Order glyphs are removed from display.

For the case in which the selected start glyph is in an edited state, the start bend order number is not changed and its state remains as edited. All the bend centerlines encountered along the traversal from the start to end positions, including the end glyph, are set to edited during the process.
