I have tried and failed to create a contour flange with the sketch profile (incl pic). Is it possible to create a contour flange along a tangent edge as a single step in NX5? I sometimes get it to work but only along one edge, get errors otherwise. Tried messing with all options in the contour flange feature box to no avail. I love the simplicity that solidworks does this with, still getting used to all the UG features within features.

Thanks

Figured it out :). Each straight edge has to be selected as an individual curve as opposed to continuous tangent curve/edge. Close corner can be checked with open option or left unchecked altogether depending on what you need. Also make sure that miter inside corners as necessary is not checked.
Then set whatever bend radius and releif you need if not equal to global settings.
