EN: SOLIDWORKS Sheet Metal Circular Edge Flange
In the previous version this is what it looked like when we tried to select a circular edge. There was just no response and no highlighting. What we had to do was a Swept Flange. There is nothing wrong with the Swept Flange, but it requires an extra step with the profile sketch, much like a Swept Boss.
This is a like a satisfying before and after commercial. Take a look at the edge in 2021. It highlights and recognizes. The process to create the nonlinear Edge Flange is the exact same as a regular Edge Flange. Same feature, same workflow.
To find Edge Flange you will use the Sheet Metal toolbar, search with the top right or Insert > Sheet Metal > Edge Flange.
As per usual, we can select multiple circular edges but now, we can combine this with linear edges as well.
