Dear All,
When a sheetmetal body is exported into a new file and reconverted into sheetmetal the flat pattern bend directions
are wrong sometimes.
Has anybody else experienced this issue on parts that are reconverted into sheetmetal by exporting to a new file.

Dear All,
This problem is really an absolute problem rather than relative.
The up and down connotations are absolute and cannot depend upon the Fixed Face selection.
This refers to the bend annotations created in drawings by Solidworks.
Irrespective of the fixed face being on the inner or outer skin of the sheet metal part it is essential to have the bend
directions on paper as down if they are into the paper and up if they are towards the person reading the drawing.
This evidently is not so. Sad ?!!!

I'm in SW2010 SP1 and I tested with a simple part with UP-UP-DOWN-DOWN-UP-UP bend direction in the drawing.
I've tested with convert to sheet metal and with add bends command without problems...
Can you post a file to test ?
