Bend Line annotations on DWFX flat pattern view

Anonymous
Not applicable

Is there a way to get visible bend lines on flat patterns when using a DWFX file?

 

It seems that the bend lines are stored as a sketch, and sketches are not imported into a DWFX file. I can add annotations in the inventor file but when the dwfx is exported the bend line itself disappears from the model. I've attached images below which shows the bend line showing in the inventor part and then missing in the DWFX.

 

What options are available for displaying this correctly in a DWFX file? Ideally with the ability to measure from an edge to the bend line itself.

According to Autodesk ADR development stopped back in the year 2013, it was only updated in the year 2018 for Win10 compliance and other issues. They are focusing on web-based solutions moving forward.

But you can tell Autodesk about your wishes here https://www.autodesk.com/company/contact-us/product-feedback

It's probably an Inventor issue, not a DR. Shared View also does not show bending lines, Shared View does not show a flat pattern. In which tool can the bending lines be shown in preview?
