A common question we get on the support desk is “where are my bend lines?” or “why are my bend lines not shown?” This can happen for a variety of reasons as I will explain in this video:
The first method I tried was to go to View > Sketches. This toggles the visibility of sketches, and if it is off, the Bend Lines sketch will be hidden
The second method I used was to expand out the Flat Pattern in the feature tree and find the sketch Bend-Lines2 (could be other numbers shown). Then I could click on it and Show it by selecting the glasses.
Finally, I demonstrated that to have the bend notes (in the event that your bend notes are not shown), you need to select your drawing view and choose “(A) Flat Pattern” as your view. The (A) will add the annotations, which include the bend notes.
