Bend Line error

Hi,
after drawing a board outline and creating zones with specific stack up assigned to them, I wanted to draw a bend line.
In Create Bend Area window, I set bend line start coordiantes by clicking the canvas. After that I want to set bend line end coordiantes by clicking the canvas again but nothing happens. If I type in the end coordinates manually, I get an error "Invalid bend line end points." What could be the issue here?

I'm using this SW for testing purposes only, hence I use PCB Designer Lite version.

Thanks a lot

Hi, Just a guess whats up here. But, make sure you have a board outline rectangle added to "Board Geometry/Design_Outline layer. The "Outline" layer is basically now just a graphical layer with no smarts to it. The Design_outline layer has a few more smarts added to it to make the the 3D model mode work correctly. So, once you have added it. Try clicking right on the the board edge to start the bend line. Then click on the other side of the board edge to complete the bend line while in the "Create bend area mode" Good luck .

You're right.
I had the outline in "Outline" layer instead of "Design_Outline" layer. Everything works smoothly now.
Thank you Dale
