sheet metal: Automatically generate bend markers

sheet metal: Automatically generate bend markers

Hi fusion sheet metal team:

 

It would be awesome if the sheet metal tool/rules had a mechanism to automatically insert a bend alignment feature in the flat pattern for manual braking.

 

Right now I unfold after the sheet metal part is designed and add a tangent half circle to the outer edge of each bend. This way when the pattern is cut there's a feature that can be aligned with the die to get the bend in the right location without a lot of tedious measurement:

 

More automation means less human error. Thanks for considering!

Dammit, somehow I posted a dupe of the previous idea. Please delete one or the other. Thanks!
