Open Profile Flange No Longer Allows Non-Chain Selection

[CMCORE]

I'm quite confident that there used to be the ability to chain-select or not chain-select when doing a sheet metal flange along an open profile sketch. I've opened up a design that I've not worked on for a few months, and I need to edit a sheet metal component where I CLEARLY was utilizing the ability to NOT chain-select, as I'm only creating the flange along a portion of the sketch lines. Now when I try to "edit" the flange width, it automatically selects the entire open profile with no option to deselect portions of the sketch. This is very problematic...

Also (and I've run into this on other designs in other situations here and there but have not nailed it down consistently), sometimes when I go to edit a flange, it will automatically compute the "side 1" or "side 2" (whichever it happened to be) as opposite. Not that big of a deal, but in some instances, it will switch from one method of compute to the other upon each recompute- which easily will ruin a sheet metal component.

Here's a video and a portioned-out file to play with showing both of these issues at the same time. The way it shows before editing the flange is correct- as soon as I edit, it is no longer correct.

Thanks for any feedback on this!

Hi @CMCORE ,

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. We apologize for the inconvenience you are experiencing with the sheet metal flange tool.
I have carefully reviewed your description, and I understand that you're encountering issues with the chain selection and flange width editing functionality. Unfortunately, I was not able to reproduce the bug on my end.
To help us address this issue more effectively, could you please provide the following:

The specific version of the software you are using.
The current Fusion version number for this is 2605.1.39. Check your application and see if it has been updated.

Thanks for looking into this @dsouzasujay .

My Fusion version is:

Fusion 2605.1.39 x86_64
Active Plan: Subscription
Windows 11 Home 25H2 (26200.7171) 

I watched the video you shared, and it definitely looks like it's doing the same thing to you that it was doing to me. The initial sheet metal flange BEFORE editing it for the first time correctly shows that it does NOT include the top two sketch lines in the flange as well as being on the OUTSIDE of the line. After editing the flange, it immediately includes ALL of the sketch lines in the flange and puts the flange to the INSIDE of the line, which is not correct. Here's a couple screenshots from the video-

Hi @CMCORE ,

Thank you for the detailed followup and for highlighting the behavior so clearly.
I revisited the issue again, and you are absolutely right, the problem was right in front of me, and I overlooked it during my initial checks. I appreciate your patience and the clarity of your explanation.

I have now logged this internally with our development team under the ticket FUS-228114 for further investigation.

Thank you once again for taking the time to provide the video, the file, and the detailed observations. I’ll keep you updated as soon as I hear back from the team.
