2. In the graphics window, click the visible sketch geometry that defines the first profile of your Lofted Flange.
3. Click the visible sketch geometry that defines the second profile of your Lofted Flange. If Enable/Disable feature preview is selected, the Lofted Flange result previews.
4. On the Lofted Flange dialog box, Shape tab, click the Die Formed output option.
5. If necessary, specify a Bend Radius value that differs from the Bend Radius defined in the active Sheet Metal Rule.

After you create a Lofted Flange feature using either Die Form or Press Brake, you cannot edit the output option of the feature. You can delete the feature without deleting the profile sketches, and recreate using the alternate output type.
