Inquiry Regarding Flat Pattern Generation and Feature Suppression in Image ?

Could someone please clarify why an additional line is appearing on the V-notch in Image 2? Additionally, what distinguishes the process of generating a flat pattern directly from the "customize graphics toolbar" compared to using the unbend features from the "Ribbon" and then creating the flat pattern from the family table after suppressing all features?

  1. In Image-1, I generated the flat pattern using the customize graphics toolbar.

  2. In Image-2, I utilized the bend feature from the toolbar and suppressed all features in the family table after all bends were made.

The unbend operation will allow you to unbend any or all bends in order to perform other operations such as create your own relief cuts then bend it back to continue.  The flat pattern feature always stays at the end of the model tree and flattens all bends and forms.

 

By suppressing the bend features, to get back to your original shape, the bent areas no longer exist in the model. 

 

To remove the tangent lines in the drawing, use Edge Display to erase those lines.

I'll have to say I can't see anything. The image quality it really bad and I can't see any difference.

    Those are tangent lines for the bend. I'm  assuming that's the bend centerline in the view.

    The 2 ways to create the flat today are family table (Pro/e flat state) and the simplified rep flat which was introduced at some point, not sure when.
