FAQ
Product questions
Why do bend lines matter in DXF files?
They communicate bending information to production teams and help separate cutting geometry from forming references.
Can bend lines be marked with notches?
Yes. Flat2DXF supports triangle, line, round, and rectangle notch workflows.
Are bend lines machine settings?
No. They are manufacturing reference geometry and should be reviewed in the final CAM workflow.
