Local fix

Problem summary

•  DOCUMENTATION REFERENCE:
   MANUAL  ===> SheetMetal Design
   CHAPTER ===> Extruding
  
   MODIFICATION:
  Such an extrusion can also be performed on a sketch made of
  lines and arcs of circle, provided there are no tangency
  discontinuities between the different elements.
  However, in this case:
  - the Up to plane or Up to surface capabilities are not
  available,
  - you cannot isolate such an extrusion,
  - if the element of the extruded sketch connected to the part
  is an arc of circle, the extrusion will not display in
  the unfolded view.
  To avoid this, prefer to create a User Defined Flange or remove
  the arc of circle of the extruded sketch and create a bend to
  connect the extrusion to the part.
  

Problem conclusion

• THIS MODIFICATION WILL BE INCLUDED IN CATIA DOCUMENTATION
  DELIVERED WITH CATIA VERSION 10 RELEASE GA
  NOTE THAT DOCUMENTATION WILL ALSO BE INCLUDED IN V5R9SP02.
