Missing flat layout bend lines

I'm having a lot of trouble with flat layouts on SW 2009 which I never had with 2008.

When I bring my flat layout into the drawing, most of the time the bend lines either show up but cannot be picked for dimensioning, or they do not show up at all.

Deleting the drawing and doing it over appeared to correct the problem, but even then the bend lines will often disappear all on their own.

Any ideas as to what is going on here?

Sounds like a graphics issue. Did up check to see if you needed to update your graphics driver when you changed to '09?

What graphics card are you using?

Did you remove the old driver and reboot before installing the latest SW certified driver?

Did you do an update of SW08 to SW09 or did you do a clean uninstall then re-install?

Also check that the Hide all types option in the View section is not selected, and that Sketches and All Annotations is selected.

Thanks for the info.

I downloaded Service Pack 4 and that seems to have solved the problem.

  this is still a problem for me when trying to detail mirrored sheetmetal parts. I have tried both convert to sheetmetal and insert bend but both operations still do not provide bend lines and notes for the flat patterns.

    This is still a problem for me also. At the moment the only way I can get bend lines to show up is the ensure that view sketches is on in the drawings. That is a pain because often I have sketches showing in parts at the time of creating the drawing. To then hide all of those sketches I have to go to each drawing view, select the sketches and hide them. Surely we should be able to have the bend lines show up and at the same time turn the view sketches off.
