When I have finished modelling a cabinet in 3-D, copied the model and laid it flat on the X,Y plane, and copied it into a drawing view, for export in .dxf, I notice something curious.
When the vectors are imported into a CAM program, the vectors are interpreted as open in Layer 1, and closed in Layer 2+.
My question is this:
Can the tolerance be set so that the lines generated in a drawing view be set closer, or finer, to eliminate this problem?
Looking at the user guide, I don't see any way of setting tolerances.
Can it be done in Shark?

Maybe you need to convert to polylines for exporting to .dxf or .dwg.

I've noticed that when I convert to polylines, the lines retain their smooth curved profiles when viewing in another CAD or CAM program.

Hi Craig

What did you use in the sheet view method polyline or precise curves?
Can you explain a little more as to what vectors not shown connected?
