Hi there,


When detailing sheetmetal parts how do I turn on bend lines in the flat pattern?
 
Hi..

I think it will be automatically displayed when you insert
the flat pattern view.

Regards,
Rajiv.
 
Rajiv is correct, the items are usually on by default, but if they're not, you can check below:


1. Select the drawing view, and make sure it is of the flat pattern

2. Select the drawing view, right click, and go to the properties. check "display sheet metal bend notes" is on

3. In the view menu, check that "sketches" is on, otherwise your bend lines won't show. Also check that the sketch in the flattened feature isn't hidden.
