      Hello,


      on the unfold metal sheet, I have to put symbol like that:


      This symbol have to indicate middle of this welded pins, it should be on separate layer with yellow color, and it should be put in to dxf/dwg file when I'm saving Unfold to dxf/dwg.

      How can I do that in the easy way ?

      Bellow I'm sending example to explain what I mean:

      Hi Piotr Pietraszek Izabella Pietra

      You can add that symbol to indicate pin position from Detail>Annotations>Center line. 

      Currently it is not possible add a color to it using separate layer.

      Please add this to the ideas section Ansys SpaceClaim Ideas - Ideas - Ansys Discovery Forum for this to be added.

      Regards

      Ok,

      this way is ok, but it couse another problem :)

      I have set sheet metal export like below:

       

      If I attache unfold to drawing sheet, I can't save it to dxf without bend extent lines.

      If I save unfold to dxf directly everything work ok.

       

      I'm attaching real example file.

      It include model, unfold, drawing sheet.
      If I'm saving unfold to dxf result is ok - there are no bend extent lines, but also I can't indicate
      center line of pins:

       

      If i'm saving sheet to dxf, there are center line of pins, but there are bende extent lines:

      But ... this is not rule ... sometimes it is possible to save without these lines - I do not know what it depends on, example (it work on the same settings):

      Hi Piotr Pietraszek Izabella Pietra

      Please turn off the Show Flat Bend Extents option, to save without these lines but with the center line of pin.
