Summary: Within idw, allow various flanges to be unfolded as needed. This could assist with in-house process planning.

Description: With the new Unfold and Refold features in IV2010 Sheet Metal it would be very useful to be able to show the model in different states in an idw. This would make setting press brake backstop settings easier by making it possible to create an idw view showing just one fold when one fold is datumed off of a previous fold, such as when bending a tight channel if 1 side is folded and then the new flange is used as a backstop for the second bend.

How Used: In the model state tab when creating a base view in an idw it would be possible to create a view with say "Unfold1 State Active"

Feature Affinity: Sheet Metal
