Flange i am currently attempting to set up user friendly templates for the various types of v clips i work with and i have a small dilema.
It purely depends upon the shape of the part that decides which one to use.
When you figure flat pattern length you simple add up all the outside flanges and subtract the bend deductions.
If i understand the sticking point of the question how can it be done using the sheet metal module of proe vs extruding.
As one who daily works with sheet metal design and fabrication use outside flange lengths for several reasons.

Difference between sheetmetal flange flat features in pro engineer and creo parametric modified.
Changing a bend with the constant flange length option selected.
Here is the basic explanation for the two sheet metal options.
Constant flange length keeps the distance between the apex and the end of the wall fixed.
When the tangent to bend depth option is used in a relation the relation is maintained but the result produced will be the.
No worries of forgetting a material thickness along the way 3.
Information regarding the difference of flange and flat wall features for sheet metal.
Constant flat length ensures that the length of the unfolded wall is not changed.
When i create the main bend with a radius of about 0 09 i tend to lose varying amounts of material to create it.

Below is the basic example of the flat and flanged walls.
Or is it just a flat piece you are adding the joggle.
