I have wondered about this one for years and finally decided to ask the forum.
When doing an spb fill on a shape that contains a small radius arc, I often, but not always am not able to execute the fill. By small, I am talking about less than 1/64". The program simply doesn't perform a fill using Contour Search.
I try to cheat the program by creating a polyline and then filling the entity, but DataCAD returns a similar but not exact shape, where the small radius arc is returned as a straight line instead of an arc.
NEWS FLASH!
By taking the time to write out this challenge, and examining my post to see if I had properly described the issue, I decided to try changing the accuracy in Settings. I changed to 1/256 and bingo! my shape was drawn accurately.
So this forum is helpful sometimes even before I post my question.
Thanks again for being there. I thought I should post this in case someone else might benefit from it.
