About Bend Notes
Bend notes show information about the type, direction, and angle of a bend. They can also be displayed as annotations in your drawings to facilitate manufacturing when programming bending machines, locating punch positions, and creating dimension inspection documents. The following example shows a bend note:
Bend notes are automatically created for each bend in your design, but display only on the flat pattern feature of your model. You can customize the order of the note elements with the smt_bend_notes_order configuration option. You can also customize the default bend note symbols or create your own symbols by modifying the bend note display configuration options or by modifying the Bend notes display settings area in the Sheetmetal area of the Creo Parametric Options dialog box.
To display bend notes on the flat pattern feature, click Bend Notes on the Graphics toolbar, or click View > Bend Notes. Make sure that Annotation Display is enabled and that the smt_bend_notes_dflt_display configuration option is set to yes (default).
To display bend notes in the Model Tree, click > Tree Filters. The Model Tree Items dialog box opens. Under Display, click Annotations, and then click OK.
