Bend tangency lines, axes of bends and walls are displayed in the drawing.

Before you begin:
  • Make sure that the Generate axis option is selected in Me > Preferences > Mechanical > Drafting > View.
  • Make sure that you have an appropriate Drafting license. For more information, see Drafting User's Guide.
  • Open a 3D shape containing Live Sheet Metal features.
