Hello ,
iam facing a problem in the sheet metal flat pattern lines , when saving the flat pattern as a DXF all center lines (representing bend lines) are converted to continuous lines which cause a problem that my CNC bend machine software can not read the bend lines as a continuous line .
So is there any way to enable the saving of center lines when exporting the DXF file from the flat pattern
Welcome to the Forum!
When you save your dxf, did you check the layer settings?
You can set the linetypes and visibility here before you save your dxf.
Hope this helps.
