90 degree V-notch

[Baldy217]

Doing a sheet metal pan using Wildfire 5. The angle of the current V-notch for the corner relief is 74 degrees, but we need it to be 90 degrees to be able to punch it with the turret punch. Is there a way to change the angle? Or another way to add automated 90 degrees v-Notch?

Right now we have to unbend, then sketch the cut, then rebend....which is time consuming.

I find out that the v-notch angle is related to the corner gap. But I want to make the v-notch always 90 degrees so I can cut it with a square punch.

Here is the pan

and here is the v-notch

How do you plan to cut a 90deg V out of a 90deg corner?
