Morning All,

Just wondering if anybody ever saw the attached & below screenshots for sheet metal edge flange creation. I've been using this feature to create them for years w/o issue, now when I try to create even the simplest edge flange off a flat sheet metal base flange, it throws an error. Not sure what has occurred. I've tried closing down SW and restarting numerious times as this always seems to fix most issues. Will try to reboot but did this first thing when I got in. I'm on Windows10 running SW2015. Never saw this error before. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Correct Answer

Could you upload the sheet metal file or send a zoomed out picture so we understand more of where you are placing this?

Thanks for the response Josh. After rebooting, all is well. I would have tried this first but after a complete shutdown and restart, the problem is gone. Weird. Normally a restart of SW and/or operating system, the issue is fixed but not in this case. I needed a cold boot. Strange. Thanks anyways.

Looks to me that you have your radius set at 8.75 in soyour flange length may be too short

I see that now. Hmm, good point but I did try another test w/ default unchecked and overrode this value to .01 for knife die on 10 ga. plate and got same error so I don't know. Thanks for response.
