I've just started using solidworks 2006 and have hit on a problem with the sheet metal. When adding an edge flange i want the flange to constrain to the same angle as the main part end extrude level with the top face of the part. I can get the angle right by use of the parallel to face comand but can't select the same face to give set the distance.
When i select extrude to a vertx, it selects the vertex but the flange is much to long. (the Edge of the flange is normal to the vertex)
Is there a way of extruding an edge flange so that when you extrude to as surface the surface doesn't have to be at the same angle as the edge being extruded.
