Question:
How to get the bending dimension lines with this plate? Now there are bending lines, but no dimensions.

Answer:
This problem was fixed in Tekla Structures 2016 SP2 and newer versions.

First, check that XS_DRAW_BENDING_LINE_DIMENSIONS_IN_UNFOLDING advanced option is set to TRUE. For a plate like this with all parallel bend lines, you can get the bend information by rotating the drawing coordinate system 90 degrees around the Z axis.
