I send dxf's to 3rd party company to have parts laser cut and folded, they have recently decided that they must have the bend lines included in the dxf. Is there a way to do do this.

Thanks I was a bit confused at first then realized that you do thiswhen you open the exported dxf. I also first thought this would be a pain to open every dxf and show the bend lines before sending them off to the 3rd party but then "because I am lazy" I can just tell them what you told me, "if you want to see them show them" they are there:)1

It works since v1.64 in June https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/6059/direct-export-of-a-sheet-metal-dxf-including-bend-lines-laser-etch-lines-as-well-as-cut-lines
You just need to show the layers you want in the DXF file:- SHEETMETAL_BEND_LINES_UP
- SHEETMETAL_BEND_LINES_DOWN
- SHEETMETAL_BEND_TANGENT_LI
