Exporting flat pattern bend lines

[Anonymous]

When exporting a flat pattern face into auto-cad an option to include bend lines for scribing would be a great feature instead of doing a save copy as into auto-cad format and manually setting layers.

Maybe I'm not following, but the flat pattern being cut out is not going to have those lines on it correct? Someone would then scribe the lines on a cut out flat pattern?

Why wouldn't you just make a drawing/idw file of the flat pattern with lines and bend direction? What would you use the file with the bend lines on it for?
