See attached dataset (the names are self-explanatory)
The dataset contains a simple sheetmetal part (a revolve) with flat pattern,
which is created in IV10. From the sheetmetal flat pattern, a DXF file has
been generated.
The dataset also contains a migrated version of the part. From this migrated
part a second DXF file is created.
If you look at the DXF file of the IV10 part, you will see that all lines
are put on the correct layer.
On the DXF file of the migrated part, the BEND line has been put on the
WRONG LAYER. The Bendline is treated as a FeatureProfile!
This means that ALL our DXF files of our migrated sheetmetal files (which
are created with a revolve) are WRONG.
This is NOT acceptable.
If I delete the flatpattern in IV2008 and recreate it, the DXF output is
correct.
But this means that ALL VIEWS of my flat pattern are DELETED.
Once again, this is NOT acceptable
