Hello community,

I am experiencing an issue with the unfolded-view function in the drafting app in CATIA.

I have created a basic sheet metal bent part and have defined sheet metal parameters such as the K-factor and bend radius. The 3D part can be viewed in the fold/unfold view.

When creating a drawing and selecting the unfold view for the sheet metal part, the correct view appears, but the position of the bending line is inaccurate. The corners of the bend are correct, but the bend axis line is incorrectly placed.

I have exported the DXF file and viewed it in AutoCAD, where the bending line is correctly positioned. Therefore, I am certain the issue lies within the drafting app and not the sheet metal design app.

Has anyone else experienced a similar problem recently? This issue has suddenly appeared; it was not a problem last week when performing the same task.

Worth mentioning is that the measurement towards the bend (78.5mm) is colored grey, which usually suggests something is not correct.

See attached photo.
