Display Unbend axes (only)

[smores]

In my further efforts to create a mapkey for auto-generating flat DXF's


Trying to automate the display annotations of ONLY UNBEND AXES (from sheetmetal parts).


I was hoping to do this by first displaying ALL AXES (in show annotations) - and then I was going to go into FIND and select all axes that didn't containg UNBEND and delete them. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like you can search for axes by description, only name (A_105, A_72, etc.) even though in the selection list it shows


A150:F22(UNBEND AXIS)


Another brick wall - I should get the VB SDK, or I should shell out $10K to Fishbowl.


I welcome any useful input.

Smores,

I can help you find the unbend axes.The(UNBEND AXIS)in
the axes name is the feature name. So find the axes using
the feature name.
In the find window,
Look for : Axis
Look by: Feature
Select: "Type" under rule
Criteria-->Comparison: is equal to, Category: Sheet metal
design, Value: Unbend

Find now and proe will display only unbend axes.I tried
this in part not in drawing.Sorry i couldn't attached the
image.

Perfect - I was able to show ALL ANNOTATIONS (AXES) - and then able to select and delete everything was NOT EQUAL to the UNBEND AXES (using your procedure above).

Thanks for your help!
