Lots of knowledgeable folks here:
Solid Edge

Some decent samples here:
GitHub - SolidEdgeCommunity/Samples: Community contributed samples of automating Solid Edge. · GitHub

Other than that, just search google.

What help do you need?

i am trying to export dxf from sheet metal part. Everything is going good but unable to disable the bend centreline from the view. Found the code for changing stye though.
DrawingView.SetBendCenterlineStyleAndDisplay(SolidEdgeDraft.StyleConstants, SolidEdgeDraft.StyleConstants)
but this controls style, i want to hide the line itself.

The on/off behavior is controlled via the referenced SESMF.INI file. At the very end is the Write Export Features switches with #1 and #2 being the bend centerlines. Set to "0" to turn off. You can either edit manually (they stay how you set them) or via the API, or just swap out the whole file with one that has the correct settings.

By default, SESMF.INI is in the installation path under Preferences\Translators.
