I have a different problem with Save As. But it doesn't fit here. I will ask it in a new thread.
Thank you.

That was it. Yes, now everything is back to normal.

Million thanks.

Hrmm.. Not sure what happened, but when I click on it, it says that the image was deleted. Sorry I was updating the image. Tried to use jpg instead of png. I think it's ok now. By the way, it seems that jpg files are not allowed recently. If you want to upload an image, you have to save it as png. ...

Since upgrading to SW2022, shaded cosmetic threads color is too dark.
Is there anywhere I can change the black color to gray?

Now it's a mystery.
If change Icon Color in Options\Colors to Classic, the problem is solved.
This problem occurs only if Icon Color is set to default.

Graphic Card's driver is the latest update.

Mine was running without any problem.

I was advised to use a library feature instead of a forming tool in This post

But it seems I can not sketch pattern this library feature.
Am I doing something stupid again?
Both library feature and a sample file is attached.

Any kind of advice is much appreciated.

No, that's perfect the way it is.

Seems that library feature does the job.

Though it's not possible to change the direction of a library feature like forming tools, but well I can take care of that.

Yes that was exactly the same result I ended up before posting this request. But I know the member of this forum and I hoped a genius comes out with a solution.

thanks for your insight.

It's called "coining". Not really a form, per se. Conservation of volume applies. Usually the hole is shallower with wider diameter than the protrusion. That's way too much thickness variation. Maybe too much. Switch to tighter tolerance sheet stock. The extra cost pays off. @HerrTick tha...

Why did you use a Miter Flange on that part vs. an Edge Flange? Miter Flange is intended for making multiple flanges in one feature, which can be very convenient depending on the application.

Damo , I really appreciate the time you put on this. (I do also notice, your bend radius is VERY small for your sheet thickness, does this work for you normally..?)

But that's not the result I need.
In 5 degree, you don't see the difference. Change 5 degree to 30 and this is what you have.
Apparently it's different with my design.

After so many years using SW for our sheet metal products, I still am not able to make Miter flange work on our parts.
A very simple file is attached. Can anybody explain why I can not flatten this part.

Any kind of advice is much appreciated.

I hate when Solidworks acts stupid. I had to close and launch SW again. After that, I was able to do the task.

Sorry. But I'm not allowed to share it. Even for posting the image I had to ask for permission first.
Is the method I'm talking about works for you in 2021 sp3 version?
Is there any setting (concerning external references) for this?
