why in the WORLD are the ADA sink settings so screwed up?

Solid Analyzer Wrong Part Size

3D drawings are not accurate
There was a time, not so long ago when MV would make 3d drawings that would show the radius on inside corners produced by the round bit. This was 100 percent accurate. Not long ago, this was changed to draw the 3d drawings to show the inside corners as square. I don't like this because the drawing and the product do not look the same. Just my humble opinion. Anybody else feel this way?
