How to create cosmetic bend centerlines with the API

Does any one know if it is possible to create cosmetic centerlines in a flatpattern with the Inventor API??

eventualy I create a drawing of my flatpattern and export my Flatpattern to an Autocad dwg. for this I use the export option "Model Geometry only", because of this, any sketches made on the drawing are gone... so I want to make them in the flatpattern with the Cosmetic centerlines because them come on my drawing with the export..

 

thanks

@HermJan.Otterman,

 

Is it possible through UI? If yes, can you please provide steps to create cosmetic bend centerlines via UI?

 

For more understanding, video record or screencast would be better.

 

Thanks and regards,

@HermJan.Otterman and @GeorgK,

 

I checked with engineering team and informed that Inventor API does not support to cosmetic bend lines currently. Please log this wish list at idea station using below link.
