bend lines in developments

(OP)
i am using solidworks 2007.
how do you show 3 bend lines in a development with 90 degree bends?
i need to show the bend line plus the two tangent lines.
ie: the start and end of bend lines

RE: bend lines in developments

1) In the part model, click on the Flat-Pattern1 feature and select Edit Feature, then de-select the Merge Faces option.

2) In the drawing, RMB the flat pattern view and select Tangent Edge >  Tangent Edges With Font

cheers

RE: bend lines in developments

Is there a way to save these settings rather than the additional work of remembering to do this every time? (I have been looking for this for a while.)
Regards
