bend line notes

(OP)
I'm sure this has been covered before but I just can't find it with a search.

I have a very simple lofted bend sheet metal part. it is a transition from a rectangle to a circle almost identical to the tutorial but with different dimensions. 200x90mm rectangle with 5mm radius corners split in the middle of one short side. the hole is made up of 4 arks 21mm radius and 4 1.5mm straight lines. 3 bends on each section.

I have a flat pattern with bend lines however it will not give bend notes with the angles. I have the "display bend notes" checked but nothing happens. the bends are labeled with "freeform bend" which may be causing the problem?

RE: bend line notes

If I recall correctly, freeform bends to not show bend note information and this is considered a limitation at this time. Check with VAR to confirm that, but I am pretty sure that is the case.
