corner of 2 different size flanges in sheet metal

[Anonymous]

I was just wondering if there is an easier method of getting a 45 degree corner on flanges of 2 different sizes.

1 flange is 1" and the other is .75". I have been cutting the .75" flange down and adding to the face of the 1" flange.

The corner I'm talking about is on the far right of the part.

Hi feldmanncad, 

If you set your flanges to use the Width option rather than the Edge option and then create them one at a time, you can then use the Corner Seam tool to pull them together. Attached is an example file.

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
