Another Shape Bender Problem

I didn't know that the Chinese had latin accents. Golly, you learn something new every day.
-
I even used to teach Latin at university. To me, each Chinese has a Latin accent.

"Don't let the bastards grind you down..."
Perhaps...
Id imperfectum manet dum confectum ...
or more colloquially
Nolite te bastardes carborundorum ...
or more obviously...
Nolite bastardes te carborundorum ...
or in mock-latin...
Illegitimi non carborundum ...

I dunno about newbies. I usually take something away, or get reminded, that's why I check in so often. (the other reason is boredom I guess

Hi,
You all seem to know your stuff so hopefully have some advice for me. I have watched several tutorials and read several problem forums, but I must be missing a key part of the process.
I want to bend a flat plane to a curve. I have made the plan a component, both that and the curve it on the red axis, they are both the same length. However, once I activate shape bender, it wont even let me select a line, let a lone a second. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
LJ

Can you upload the file ?

Where's the line you're trying to select? It cannot be inside the component.
Note in my example that the component to be bent is located directly above the straight line. After the plugin runs, the bent version of the component is located directly above the curve. If there is any horizontal displacement between the straight line and the original component, there'll be a horizontal displacement between the curve and the bent component.

Good Morning,
The line was parallel with the base of the rectangle, as shown in Chris's tutorial. Even if I separate it out I still cannot select a line. Nothing highlights in blue. I almost think I've downloaded the program wrong!
Unfortunately I can't upload the file as it is too big. This is a nightmare =/ -
I knew it was a straight forward piece of software, just reloaded it and it works fine! Thanks for your help.
