Assigning Entity Names To Bend Lines & Edges- Flat Pattern Environment

[amarinXG8V6]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to automate some of the drafting for sheet metal parts. This particular manufacturer likes to have flat patterns shown on prints and the bend lines dimensioned. I know starting in 2022 you can directly assign entity names from within Inventor, and you can access those entity names in iLogic. How can I assign or access the entity names of bend lines on a sheet metal part in the flat pattern environment? The Assign Entity Name tool is not available when in the flat pattern environment. Is there a way to do it through iLogic or by loading in one of the "hidden" dev. tools?

Entities naming in Inventor is nothing special. It is usage of Attributes. If the built-in functionality doesn't work, you can implement your own.

You can add AttributeSets and Attributes to almost all entities. Later on you can find this entities using AttributeManager functions.
