Bend lines and Anotations

[harlowmatt]

Hi guys,
when I create a flat pattern drawing in CATIA the bend lines and annotations do not shown up when I create a view using the flat pattern view tool. how do I get these to show up? your help is greatly appreciated.

run catia in admin mode and edit the standard.

which standard is it? I'm in my drafting category and using my customized standard .xml file

You will need to focus on 'Generative View Style' instead of the drafting standards. There is a number of display settings that can be customized for Sheet Metal flat pattern views. After setting one of these up, you will need to make a change to Mechanical > Drafting > Administration tab and disable the 'Dsiable Generative View Style usage' option in Tools > Options.

in the properties of the view you can check the Axis option, this will give you the bending line.
