Sheet metal bend extents in flat pattern

[Anonymous]

I usually make a view in my idws of a flat pattern of any sheet metal parts.
I do not like the bend extents lines to display in this view. I edit my
view, go to the options tab, uncheck the bend extents, and close. The view
then looks the way I like. However, I have had several cases lately (Now I
am sure it is not my imagination.) where this view reverts back to
displaying the bend extents. No crashes were involved (Not many crashes at
all on on R7, althoungh fingers still crossed.). It appears that this
happens whenever significant changes have been made to the part model. Has
anyone else seen this? If I turn those lines off, I really would prefer the
darn things stay off. Just because I changed the part, it doesn't mean I
changed my mind about the bend extents.

Ya, this is the way it is in R6 also. Sorry, I haven't found or heard of a
workaround for this yet.

Ok, thanks. It is just annoying. I can live with it. I somehow usually
don't notice that those lines have sneaked back in until after I have
printed. Then it means fix it again and print it again.

Yes they are a pain but it's better then what we had in R5.3.

Tools/AppOps edge display over rides I think. If I want to see bend lines, I
have to go check on edge display because I always run with it off.

That doesn't work for me. It just removes the tangent lines in the model and
doesn't affect the .idw. 😞
