Flat Pattern Bend Lines - Neutral Axis

Does anyone know if Inventor 7 will allow you to
export a flat-pattern to dwg/dxf with both bend lines and the neutral axis
shown? I need the neutral axis to program a press brake.

RMB on flat pattern icon in the IPT feature tree
and select Save As. This gives you three options, SAT, DWG, DXF. The layers are
already created for the different features like bend lines, outside features,
inside features, etc.. But, don't expect the layer scheme to be correct every
time. Inventor likes to mix things up a little.

Cheers for the reply, no options for the centre
line of the bend though? If I create a flange on a rectangular face, flatten it
and save as a dwg, I can get the bend lines (start and finish of the bend) but
not its centre axis. It's not the end of the world but would be nice to see the
centres.

 

have a nice day.
