Show center bend line in unfold (sheet metal)

[hoegge]

When you unfold a sheet metal body:

, it would be great if the bend line was also shown / created (as a construction line) like it is in a flat pattern:

. It is a very useful line to use as a reference. I know you can make it manually yourself every time, but that is quite a lot of work. I use it to create slots along the bend line to make it easier to bend metal yourself for prototypes.

PS: It is a pain in the .... that if you forget to select "Board" when submitting an idea before you write the details, then all the details are wiped and you can start over again after having selected Ideastation. And it is the only board you can select when you submit an idea. Couldn't you ask the community / forum guys to look at that together with sorting screencasts dropdown my name or date. I have asked them before, but nothing really seems to happen in the board development part.

Thanks

Please, am I the only one seeing benefit in having the center bend line in unfold of sheet metal? 

If you punch out material relative to the middle of the bend, that line is really missing, since doing it in the flat pattern is not reflected back to the folded model

Anybody?
