When a drawing is created for a sheetmetal part, and a flat pattern view is inserted, all the bend lines are the same whether the flange bends >up or down. For example, in our factory they know that the flange bends up if it is dashed and bends down if it is solid-dashed. Some CAM programs put a note "Bend up" or "Bend down" over each line. I have automated our process to create a solidworks drawing and a DXF file from the drawing, but if I still have to go back in to manually change the bend lines in the drawing to the two styles I mentioned it takes away from the automation.
Question, is there a macro out there that changes these lines automatically? It seems like SolidWorks should have something like this incorporated already. Ive seen a macro that put "Bend Up" and "Bend Down" notes, but this would change our process in manufacturing, so I would rather use a macro that changes the lines (dashed/solid-dashed).
