Once in the 3D Viewer, multiple flexi boards can be annotated using the Fold Flexi Boards command.
The ability to fold boards is enabled when the Insert Flexi Bend Lines option is used on a suitable board outline within the PCB design. The board is then folded in the 3D Viewer using the Fold Flexi Boards option. Multiple flexi boards can be added to the design.

Using the Fold Board option
Once a Flexi Board Bend Line has been added to your PCB, you must run the 3D Viewer option from the 3D Design menu from within the PCB design editor, this will create you a 3D Preview.
You will now have two or more boards displayed. If you only have one board, this option will not be available on the menu.
You can run the Fold Flexi Board option from the 3D Design menu. This option will toggle between the folded status and not folded status. Once folded, you are able to move components on the folded board, and can also move the folded board itself.
The animation of the board bending is controlled from the 3D Settings Interaction option on the 3D Design menu.
With multiple boards displayed, you can now rotate the designs in the viewer and also run Clash Detection on them.
