Adding an extruded flange to a sheetmetal part in WF 2.0 and have found they no
longer allow zero radius sketches
The first flange off the attachment edge can be changed to zero, but pro adds a
radius to the second flange if the second flange was created w/out a radius. I
see no dimension to change the radius value pro adds and if a radius is
sketched for the second flange it can not be changed to zero

Creating an unattached extruded flange does not require rads - not sure why
they would require rads on attached extruded flanges this wasn't a requirement
on previous versions

I wonder if it would make a difference if you knotched the corner of the two
adjacent extruded flanges, jusst to make sure there is no possibility of
interference at the sharp bend. Sharp bends do push a lot of material to the side.
You know how squirrley Pro/e gets about interference at corners. Does it work if
you add a very small sketched radius, like .01mm (or .005") with accuracy set at a
high enough ratio? Don't have WF2 yet to try it myself.
