In my CAD program you can specify what machine you can apply to a
line(s).

Like a cut, bend etc.

And you can see your work with a 3D view as you go along.

This program will export a DXF file and I was wondering -- is the bend
information in a DXF file as well? (All I see in my viewer is the
complete piece outline with all the holes I need).

I would imagine it has to be right? But typically you wouldn't see the
bend lines in a DXF viewer?

Perhaps the bend lines are on a layer that's not turned on or
otherwise not visible in the viewer. The DXF is just a (huge) text
file, and the format is public. With a little poking you should be
able to determine whether your CAD program exports the bend lines to
DXF. In Autocad, I'd first look at the properties of the bend lines in
the drawing (for example, which layer they reside on), then open the
DXF in Notepad and search for text matching the layer name, linetype,
etc.
