      <p class="para_division">Use <b class="uiTerm">None</b> to remove a corner. Existing corners, (bend or miter), are removed from the selected RCPs when <b class="uiTerm">Apply</b> or <b class="uiTerm">OK</b> is chosen. If a selected RCP does not have a corner, specifying a type of <b class="uiTerm">None</b> corner type does nothing to that RCP.

      <div class="title_division">Bend Corner Type</div>
      <p class="para_division">The radius of a bend corner is determined by the setting of the method may be set to <b class="uiTerm">Ratio to Diameter</b>, <b class="uiTerm">Radius</b>, or <b class="uiTerm">Bend Radius Table</b>.
      </p>
      <p class="para_division">If you choose <b class="uiTerm">Ratio to Diameter</b>, you must enter the ratio value. The ratio value and the diameter of the stock along the segments at the corner will multiply to determine the radius of the bend. Several checks perform to determine if you can use the radius:

      <ul>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">The ratio must be at least 0.5.</p>

The value of <b class="uiTerm">Ratio to Diameter</b> is stored on the corner object.

      <p class="para_division">If the bend corner method is <b class="uiTerm">Radius</b>, you explicitly enter the bend radius value. This method does not require that you assign stock to the segments. Alternatively, you can select an existing bend corner RCP or route Arc (arc) from which to inherit a value for the radius. The radius value must be greater than 0.0. It should be set to a value that is at least half of the diameter of any stock placed along the bend.
      </p>
      <p class="para_division">The <b class="uiTerm">Bend Radius Table</b> method uses a value for the corner bend radius from a selected table. The table provides a bend radius based on the diameter of the stock. You must set up <b class="uiTerm">Bend Radius Tables</b> through the Application View. Select one of the bend radius table names from the single select list. A single click on a name only selects it. A double click on a name selects it and executes the bend creation as if you chose the <b class="uiTerm">Apply</b> button.
      </p>
      <p class="para_division">Instead of selecting a bend radius table name from the list, you can select the <b class="uiTerm">Import Bend Table</b> button. A <b class="uiTerm">File Navigator</b> window appears and you can search for any table to import. After importing it, you can add new choices to the table list for the remainder of the session. The default filter type for bend table files is *.txt.
