You can now configure the user interface to display Flat Pattern drop-down options according to your company’s preferred method for managing bend states and flat states.

By default, options for both Family Table instances and Simplified Representations are available. With this enhancement, you can:

  • Restrict the interface to display only one of these options.
  • Ensure users consistently follow your organization’s standard practices for flattening methods.

The same configuration applies to the corresponding commands in the Flat Pattern Preview Window.
