Shape bender extension

[somebodyelsesmail]

I have a shape bender problem that I haven't found info on in other threads. When i use it it doesn't bend to curve but moves object towards end of curve.

Always draw your straight-edge along [or at least parallel to] the x/red axis.
Place the arc/curve, extending in the x/red direction, aligning it with the edge's ends - i.e located above it in the y/green direction.
Place the 'container' that will be bent, above that curve, in the y/green direction, similarly aligned.
Their alignment/relationship determines how the form is bent.

Having edges/curves/containers in different relative locations will result in different results.

The relationship of the bent group or component to the curve will always be the same as the relationship of the group or component is to the line on the red axis.

So it is doing exactly what you asked it to do.
