Hello everyone,
Please guide me how we can add circular flange on the sheet metal part as shown below
One solution which I know is draw the profile and revolve it in 3D model but I do not think it is a correct way to add the flange (add two parts)
also we can not add corners and other stuff with one command like we can do in flange or contour flange command. With flange command we can not select circular edges but can select straight edges.
Thank you in advance and best regards,

Hi Dnyaneshwar,
Make a punch tool and add a punch on it, that's what you want.
Will create an example for you then.

We have the same issue I do it 2 different ways
1. offset the distance needed and extrude.
2. I draw a profile with the fillet and sweep it.
