Select View » Board Planning Mode (or press the 1 shortcut) to enter Board Planning Mode.Graphical EditingĪ Bending Line can be graphically edited by manipulating the nodes (vertices) at the end of each line using a select and drag method. When assigning a Layer Stack to a board region, the Layer stack options presented in the Board Region dialog are defined by the layer configurations in the Layer Stack Manager dialog ( Design » Layer Stack Manager). Remove, or reposition and configure this Bending Line as required. When a board region is set to use a Flex layer stack a Bending Line is automatically added, vertically down its geometric center. They are placed using the Design » Define Bending Line command, from the main menus. When the PCB editor is in 3D Layout mode, the bends can be displayed in their progressively folded state, providing a real-wold look at the rigid-flex design.īending Lines are available in the PCB Editor when the View mode is set to Board Planning Mode ( View » Board Planning Mode – press the 1 shortcut).īending Lines can only be placed on a Board Region that has been assigned a Flex-configured layer stack. It also defines the angle and radius of the bend, and the width of the strip of board surface that is being bent. Bending Lines can be placed across a Board Region that has been assigned a Layer Stack with the Flex option enabled – that is, the particular board region has been configured as flexible.Ī Bending Line defines where on the surface of the flex region the bend is to take place. SummaryĪ Bending Line is a drawn PCB object that defines how a flexible board should be bent. A Bending Line (shown as a yellow dashed line) sets the position and properties of the physical bend in a flexible region of a board.
