      Is there any way to make this simple mitered corner but at the angle i have it at with out having to edit each idiv. edge profile? seems like miter edge should give you options to change the angle of the miter & adjust the profile lengths aspect ratio.?

          miter flanges are not independently adjustable.

           

          I'm using 2013 so I can't open your example.

          here are 2 interpretations.

              I have (3) different egdes selected in the (1) edge flange... notice your examples have (3) diff sides, front right & left(of your box)... all mine are on (1) plane, front(1 side of the box)...

              I want to be able to get the exact result i have above, but without having to edit the sketches individually ...in other words if i create a miter, all profiles have to be of equal width, and they must be on a 45 deg angle... i want to acomplish the same thing, only on a 60 deg angle... hence not a true miter of 45...which would keep all profiles at a set height but make the profile i have in edge flange profile 1 & 2...1 & 2 have the same profile but 3 fills in the counter void.

              using my example... 24.5 is the desired height for all profiles... 60 deg is the desired angle.. can you duplicate what i have exactly, with less manipulation of sketch profiles???

                here is an example of what im saying, heres an edge flange... with out editing the profiles... all sides are equal width/height... and the default angle is 45... even if i could just alter the default angle id be happy...the only option they give to the angle variance is inward and outward from the bend... i want to edit the miter angle...

                 

                hello SOLIDWORKS... everyone in this world dont get lucky enough to have super easy exact corners...maybe in a perfect world SOLIDWORKS!!!

                LOL
