Flange with 'mitre' ends. NX7.5

Flange with 'mitre' ends. NX7.5

(OP)
As a company we create a lot of sheet metal that has flanges, we would like to create them with the mitred ends for welding. Is there an easier way to achieve this.
I have done it through editing the sketch of the flange whilst producing it.
Alternatively we could just use the 'Break Corner' feature and remove the two square edges to produce a mitred finish.

Many thanks Works Well.thumbsup

RE: Flange with 'mitre' ends. NX7.5

You're welcome. Contour flange is a very powerful command and can be used for the initial feature creation as well, not just secondary ones. Tab is not the only method to start with...You have tab, contour flange and lofted flange. And with the addition of the convert to sheet metal command, you can use extrude.
