i took a look at the file SUPPORT TRIPALEX LINE ARC .using l-cam i zoomed in at a few of the chain junction points. attached are two views ,piece of a circle and a piece of a y-bone.
what ever you decide to use for drawing the results have to be perfect. l-cam will not compensate bad drawing. it will barf all over itself. these two pictures are good examples of
what l-cam finds that it wont like. the outcome will result in baldness and excessive drinking.good luck!

Hello Bill,

thanks for looking at the file

What about the other one, did you take a look too? Is it the same kinda story?
What magnification did you use for this screen shots?
What tolerance did you use while importing the files?

The files as I said before may not be perfect, but probably good enough for the use I want to make of them.
This being said, I wouldn't worry too much about both my hair and excessive drinking, at 51yo I've got all my hair and all I drink is water

Thanks for your feed back,
Bob

Bill,

I opened the same file in LC and zoomed as far as LC let me do (0.07) and couldn't see any artefact or broken line like the one you posted.
This is strange.

i looked at the poly line, throw it it the trash can,dont ever do that again. bad bad bad !
use the zoom feature of l-cam. if you zoom real big and it seems to get stuck and wont shrink. go to the menu bar and click zoom and it will reset. then double
click the drawing and it will resize. connection size helps a little but that takes a bad connection and makes it a double bad with a connected bump. l-cam
offsetting and bumps == bad.

Bob

use the zoom box.

bill

Bill,

I did use the zoombox.
Take a look at this, maximum magnification, cannot go any farther.
I'm getting this on both my computers...
No broken line, no odd arch, nothing all look perfect to me  

Bob

ok, I finally saw, you obviously knew where to look.
Could you tell me without exagerating  in what way it's gonna be important that there is such a small gap in the design?
What will happen when I cut the design that has such a flaw?

Bob

bob

you will have no chance with pockets or offsetting with broken chains. l-cam cant do the math.

bill

ok, I've cut some pieces and all went fine, but I'm now regularly getting these "zero radius arcline 564" errors after offseting in LCam.
Why is LazyCam generating this error when creating offsets, and how can I get away with it?

Thanks for your help, this is rather depressing
Bob
