The cuts made on the folding lines are controlled by the ''Folding'' unit.Sketch block''. It is possible to create and customize your own blocks under two conditions:

  • The insertion point must correspond to the point taken for positioning at the end of the bend line.
  • Include one, and only one, construction line that will allow the block to be oriented in relation to the bending line.

Example:

Creation of a 2mm polygonal shape.


 


When positioning, the tool MarkFoldLines analyzes the bend lines and sets two constraints to position the sketch block:

  • 1st constraint:
    • A parallel constraint between the construction line and the bending line.
  • 2nd constraint:
    • If the bend line is located inside the sheet (e.g. in the case of folds with tears), a coincidence constraint between the block insertion point and the end of the bend line is set.


 


    • If the bend line coincides with the edge of the sheet, an intersection constraint is placed between the block insertion point and the edge.
