I swear I saw an spr # dealing with fixing the inability to make an edge flang beyond the edge used to create the flang initially. Meaning insert and edge flange>edit the sketch and drag the line longer than the original line created. Any one see that or have a soultion. I have added material from several different faces but any attempt killz the flattened state. Also when using a form tool (for vents) how do you deal with the flattened state. I made a config and suppressed them to get it to work but that isnt how it will be processed. I assume the vents will be formed first then the box will be formed around them. TIA

haven't heard of an sp, i think it's a functionality issue and not a bug.

for edge flange, i stumbled onto a solution a few weeks ago. edit flange sketch & draw relief where edge stops, then draw extension legs & connect to flange sketch. does that make any sense?

when i use louvers we buy a tool and punch in turret ... so when blank comes out of turret louvers are already in formed state.
