Changing the color of bending line in Flat Pattern

[Anonymous]

Hi everybody,

When we create Flat Pattern from sheet metal parts (Go to Fat Pattern), both Up and Down bending line are in yellow color. I am going to change the color of Up bending line to green and Down bending line to red in Flat Pattern.

thanks

You question sounds more like a statement.  I doubt that you succeeded in changing the color of the bend lines in the Model "Flat Pattern".  This can be accomplished in the drawing "Flat Pattern" and in an Export of the Flat Pattern but that is about it.

You can have different bend line colors in your dxf export:

Yes, but the OP wants to do it on model level, not in Export to DXF DB.

how did you get there

[mgeurts · Accepted solution]

RMB on Flat Pattern and choose Save Copy As

After pressing Save you will get this window; under Layer you will find the options

If you want to keep your changes for other DXF-exports than Save Configuration

I love the idea of being able to add different colors to the bend lines in the model flat pattern so you can easily identify the different bends. right now all bend lines are the same color. It's hard to tell the bends apart on more complicated sheet metal parts. Can we add this thread to the idea station? Otherwise, I will post there.
