Bend Lines on Drawings for Finger Brakes

We have a finger brake:
http://www.use-enco.com/CGI/INSRIT?P...PMAKA=130-5061

We use SolidWorks for our modeling/drawing. When doing sheet metal drawings SolidWorks puts the bend lines at the tangent line rather than where the edge of the fingers should be. Having the students line up the fingers on the lines showing on the drawing will be incorrect.

Has anyone been able to figure out how to produce drawings that show where the edges of the fingers should be placed on the sheet of metal to be bent, either from SolidWorks or other CAD packages?

Thank you for your help!
