For legacy parts opened with the SolidWorks 2007 application, edge flange
dimensions appear only after editing existing edge flanges,or rebuilding
the part. General edge flange characteristics include:
Thickness is linked to the thickness of the sheet metal part.
Sketch line of the profile must lie on the selected edge.
For legacy parts opened with the SolidWorks 2007 application, edge flange
dimensions appear only after editing existing edge flanges,or rebuilding

You can add flanges to one or more linear edges, as well as adjust angle, position, etc.
You can add curved edge flanges to edge flanges created off a planar base.
Curved edges must border a planar face.
Multiple edges must be tangent but can include linear and curved segments.
Specify No Relief or add relief using Custom Relief Type in the PropertyManager.

Default direction of the edge flange is normal to the base flange at the edge.
Creating an edge flange along a non-planar edge adds a 3D sketch.
You cannot select additional edges that are not tangent to the original edges.
Only Bend Outside is available for edge flanges created on the straight edge of lofted or cylindrical parts.
