Hello, I just made the move from Fusion 360 to Inventor during the holidays. Ive been working in fusion for quite a while but once i switched over i am having trouble getting my flat patterns to show my miters in sheet metal. I can unfold with no issues but once i make the flat pattern it squares out the corner in the flat pattern and drawing. I attached a copy of the drawing and an unfolded working model. I cant seem to find any setting related to this so any help would be greatly appreceiated.

Hi
Why did you perform Unfold surgery? What was the purpose?
Kacper Suchomski
the unfold was just to show the correct "v" cut into the metal that is actually on the part.
Unfold and Flat pattern are not the same.
Kacper Suchomski
without the unfold, it still shows a squared off corner where there should be a 45 deg relief. Model miters are correct but the flat parrern still shows incorrectly. I attached a model without the unfold for visual refrence if that helps. Where my 2 3/4 radius flanges come together is where im having an issue.
For the first flange operation, go to the last tab and define the corner type.

thank you, that worked. Apologies for the easy issue, i had that setup in fusion or something correctly. Again thanks for the help!
