FLAT PATTERN SHEET METAL : DIRECTION OF THE ANGLE IN TECHDRAW

Post by LuigiD »

Hello everybody,

I'm newby to use this software (now 0.20.1).
A simple question for many of us:
Imagine I have to make a simple box, I give the sheet (in pdf format) in the hand's man who must
do the job with the flat plat of the box. How can I indicate to him in
the drawing for example 45° degrees upward the first bend, then the second one
90° downward..and so on..
Can someone help me in order to indicate me a good tutorial for this problem?

Thereby :?:
we do not specify the 90° bends nor the internal radii which are by default equal to the thickness (well, that's how I was taught and practiced for 50 years in my country :!: )
