Hello,

Looking to create such curve in solid edge, but not sure if this is possible . I don't see a way of adding flanges to a curve and to flatten it later. Any ideas if solid edge is capable of this?

Thanks

Here's a little video on how to do it. You just have to use the Curve selection options in the Contour Flange Command Bar. Plus, you have to use a sketched flange. I don't think you can just pull a set of straight flanges around a curve. The bad part of that is that it's an extra step. The good part is that you can make more complex flanges easily.

Hi Matt,

Looks like SE has one button for everything vs SW ten buttons for same thing . Yes, it's one step more than in SW but it feels more stable to work when it comes to curves. Just need now to figure out now how to have a curve like this with the flanges but following a spiral. And thanks for the video!
