sketch on an advanced flange
sketch on an advanced flange
(OP)
Hi All
I've been training a bunch of people how to use NX sheet metal this last couple of weeks, and one of the things that I noticed when I was creating a part with a mix of normal flange and advanced flange, is it wouldn't allow me to sketch on the planar face of the advanced flange for some reason. It would let me create a datum on it, and sketch on the datum, but then I could not constrain the sketch to the edges of said flange????? Any how I have attached the very same component and the flange in question is the one with the green faces.
Many thanks
Si
