Colinear bend lines

[lagfyxq]

When making a bent part where two (or more) protrusions are to be bent together in one machine operation, selecting the 3D view makes the CAD program complain with the following message:

"Error: Selected bend line is located outside the part bounds"

So how do I specify such a bend without resorting to "comments to the machinist".

Here is a sample design just to show the point (my real design is for a bigger more complex part not shown here).

Use two bend lines.

I know I can model the design as two bends.

But how do I indicate that it should be machined as a single simple bend, not two more difficult (and costly) bends?

The machinist knows to do such a bend in one step. I don't recall if the software knows that but you don't have a choice here anyway.
