Part VII: Working with Specialized Functionality
- Create a second Edge Flange the same height as the first, just to the right of the first
flange, as seen from the point of view used in Figure 29.48. Edit the flange profile
and pull the new flange away from the existing flange. Add a dimension to make the new
flange 2 inches wide. Click OK when you are satisfied with the settings.
- Open a sketch on the inside face of the new Edge Flange and draw a line across the
flange .75 inches from the end.
- Create a Jog feature with the settings shown in Figure 29.50. Make sure to set a cus-
tom bend radius by deselecting the Use default radius option and entering .025 inches. If
you do not set the custom radius, you may get a warning that the jog distance is less than
a minimum jog value. Be careful when selecting the fixed face to select the side of the line
with the largest area, or the face you want to remain where it is while the rest of the part
bends and moves around it.
