Hi Kiri,

Check for continuity, duplicates, orphans, and tiny entities in the part you're working with.

Verify -> Contours will help with checking continuity, to see if the part is CLOSED or not.

Cad Clean & Cad Compress helps with duplicates, orphans and tiny entities,

and then where you still find issues/opening in the part, delete and redraw the bad area of the contours.

If everything looks perfect with the part, you can email in your file for use to review.

regards,

Hi Jackson,

How to decide the values of maximum line length to round and max shape divergence values.

Kiri,

Please read the guide as Jackson linked. Those are values you must manipulate to get right for your drawing. But you need to understand what they are.

Max Line Length: A good rule of thumb is ~2-5%

Shape Divergence: Start at 0.01 mm and go from there, may go up to 0.1 or lower, as need be.

Cheers,

Alex
