    Is this a bug in sheet metal?

    I pick an edge to create a Flange feature and the Flange is longer than the edge.  (Flange4 in the file)

    It works if you toggle off Auto Mitering in the corner option for the flange.

    Thanks - I'll have to check my solution key from 2012.

    This came up on an exam today with my students having trouble that didn't occur last year.
