Hello
I can't display the bend edges on a drawing, but I use the FLAT PATTERN.
Anyone have an idea?
Thank you!!
An image of your fold to help with understanding.
Thanks in advance

Hello
If you're talking about the line that represents the fall of the folding V, it's just the axes to display.
Otherwise post a picture ^^
The bend lines in the unfold function are in a sketch, are there these bend lines on the part file already?

Since your drawing,
Delete the view of your unfolded sheet metal.
Select the "view palette" tab from the menus on the right (drawing icon)
At the top of the view palette menu, choose the room and then select the "refreshed" icon
You should find all your views including the sheet metal in the unfolded state.
Insert there
Have the bending pins returned?
e.g. here are the folding lines on this part

Hello
As @fthomas says, do you have the folding lines in 3D?
If not, activate them by editing the flattening!

I simply unchecked the "hide any type" option in display and it was OK, on the other hand the fold is light gray....
I find it surprising that there isn't more option to have the folding edges?
What option would you like to see? I don't understand very well actually.
The crease lines are in a sketch created automatically in the room, so for it to be visible in the drawing the sketches must be set in the view menu, it seems normal to me.
You can change their color by changing the color options of the inactive sketch for example.

I have sketches with no function in my assembly, and so if I want these bend lines I also have the sketches elsewhere that I don't want...
We would need a special menu for this line, as for the bend notes
In the worst case, the sketches that you do not want to appear can be hidden in the drawing directly, after which it is always possible to make an improvement request to SolidWorks directly on their site in order to have a feature that corresponds exactly to your needs.

How do I request a software enhancement? Which form should I use?
Thank you!
batch123 when you log in to your account on the site www.solidworks.com there is an enhancement request section, you have to do a search to see if the request already exists and if in the search nothing matches there is a link at the bottom of the page to make your own request for improvement
