WF 2 - Sheetmetal Extrude

Sep 21, 2004 1 Replies

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

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.
