Hello.

I am running a macro to make DXF from part. It works, but the problem is with bend lines. Sometimes they are Continuous Line, sometimes they are Hidden. I want to use a Map File for the Bend lines (Up Bend - Centerline, Down Bend - Hidden Lines).

Maybe someone can help me add a syntax to code, to get this result? I am thinking maybe there is a way to attach the Map File to the Macro?

Current code export bend lines one type (no control):

This is result when used with Map File:

Can Map File be attached to the code somehow? Or maybe Bend Lines can be described through the code?

There are some times when I get the bend lines on drawing, but they don't show in the Flat Pattern ..
