This edge treatment tool creates an offset from a face by inputting the thickness and offset value.

In the illustration below are 2 examples of adding a flange. Item 1 is a hollow cylinder with a flange offset of 5 and thickness of 10. The top face is offset to create the flange.

Item 2 is a solid cylinder with a flange offset of 10 and a thickness of 5. The bottom face is offset to create the flange.

Flanges on Cylinder Primitives

The structural relationship between the flange edge treatment and the primitive is maintained when either the feature is updated.

Worked Example

This example will place a flange on the top of a cylinder.

Start a new drawing.

Right click in the editor and set the view to Isometric.

Draw a Cylinder PrimitiveDraw | Solid Primitives | Block Primitive to the following dimensions :

height = 50

diameter = 25

Select Solid Feature | Edge Treatments | Flange then input an offset of 5 and a thickness of 10.

Select the top face of the block, shown below left as point 1.

At the prompt pick edge in direction to add flange, select the edge shown below as point 2.
