Please move holes specified from bottom into the top view , remove countersinking and specify it for the phole projections in bottom view. Due to software limitations edge effects are not shown in 3D preview for bent parts. Also to minimize order cost we recommend specifying countersinking or counterboring of holes in sheet 2D jobs using comments to machinist.

OK Thanks. If I remove the bend then the countersinks show up as expected in the 3D preview.
Are there any plans to upgrade the software to be able to show edge effects in bent parts? It would be a nice feature. In the meantime, maybe a dialog box could pop up notifying the user why the chamfer is not showing. That would have saved me a lot of head scratching.
Thanks for your help.

There is currently a problem showing countersinks with bends. You can check the 3D view by temporarily removing the bend line. If you like you can add an admin comment such as "Be sure to include chamfers".
