Flat pattern - Default bending line should be UP

[ReneRepina]

Hello.

In flat pattern, default bending line should be UP, since bending machines press from top-down direction.

It is also easier to mark UP lines with laser when in production.

It is logical, that we cannot solve the parts with UP and DOWN lines, but below example, it could be solved.

Probably flat pattern on part should be changed on the opposite plane, since most of the parts it shows DOWN.

Best regards,

It seems that this can be achieved by defining A side.

We have automatic flat pattern creation and the default is DOWN.

And even if done manually, defining A-side is extra feature which would not be necessary with correct default orientation.

Holy crap yes, this please. We never bend down, as long as all bends are unidirectional. But the default is always down. I will lay it out then realizing when I add my bend note, then I have to re dimension the whole part again because they all go to zero..(which is another thing that could be fixed) but baby steps
