This has been going on you several releases now, Invaribly when I place my flat pattern in a drawing I have to flip the view to get the bendline notes to display correctly. I then flip the view again to get the correct side up. And also I almost always have to rotate the view -90 degrees. Sometimes the bendlines and their notes don't even show up until I flip the view.
What is going on with this?
Good morning Jeff,
Just clik on the bendline note and rotate the note to 0 degrees, you don't need to rotate your view.
SW creates the note to read in a parallel position from the bend line.
Later,
John
Thanks for the suggestion John, but there is nothing wrong with the bendline notes, they are oriented parallel to the bendline which is the way I like them. The problem is that the whole drawing view of the flat pattern is rotated 90 degrees to how the base flange was drawn. Doesn't happen 100% of the time but more times than not. I was hoping that someelse had seen this behavior and could tell me what I'm doing wrong..
In reference to my original observation that the bendlines are displayed incorrectly until I flip the view and then flip it back I did find out that a ctrl-q will fix this most of the time. I guess this is just a graphics display issue?
Jeff,
I've noticed the same thing. Whenever I drop a flat pattern of a part on a drawing, it is almost always 90° from how the base flange was drawn. I'll do a little testing a see if I notice a way to change it.
Edit: With additional testing, it only appears to rotate the part if I drew it on the "Top" plane when I started the part.
In this situation it would be best if you could use SolidWorks Rx to create a video of the steps you are taking and to show this behavior. Also please include example file.
