Dear all,
I just want to know,how to create a DXF files for bended plates.Is there any possible to create a DXF files in prosteel.
Hi Prabhakaran.P, As far as I know, the only option for bent plate DXFs is to develop/unfold the bent plate element, then produce a DXF from the unfolded item. This will allow you to provide a DXF of the bent plate, in it's flat/pre-bent form. 1. Model bent plate as a true bent plate item (KSBENDPLATE or KS_ARCPLATE). 2. Un-fold/develop the bent plate (PS_UNWIND). 3. Create dummy/temporary flat plate element based on result of PS_UNWIND. 4. Number dummy/temporary flat plate as required. 5. Produce DXF from dummy/temporary flat plate.

Hi Johannes, has this update been released yet. we do bent plates all the time and it's becoming cumbersome having to do it manually.
The release is delayed, mainly for the Quality checks of the new features. To achieve a best level of reliability, the time frame was extended.
