adding bend lines to a drawing

adding bend lines to a drawing

(OP)
I am trying to find out how to add bend lines and bend directions to a flat layout in pro 2001.  And, can I do it automatically?  Can anyone help??

Thanks

Can I have it tell the bend directions and angles.

RE: adding bend lines to a drawing

When you show the bend axes, show notes as well and this puts a note on each bend axis with angle and direction (Wildfire 2.0 - not sure about 2001). Also see knowledge base on Bend Order which allows you to create a table showing bend order, angles etc:

RE: adding bend lines to a drawing

(OP)
I am having trouble finding where to show them at.  I have gone into the view disp. and do not see an option for that specific view.  Do you, or anyone else have an idea?  It is probably really easy, and right if front of my eyes.

Thanks

RE: adding bend lines to a drawing

In 2001 I think it's under View - Show/Erase this allows you to show dimensions/axes/notes etc

RE: adding bend lines to a drawing

(OP)
Thanks:  I was able to get the bend lines up, but how do I do the notes, or bend order.  Mainly,  I have someone on the floor who has troubles with prints.  I need him to see a flat with bend directions down or up, etc.  Do I have to enter the notes on the part to get them to print out.  Also,  can I give a iso drawing with dimensions on it.  Thanks for all of the help.
