If you import a *.dxf file, the DXF Import window opens.
In this field you will find a list of the layers of the import sketch and their assigned settings. Layers with the setting continuous are transferred into the PARTdesigner sketch. If you want to exclude layers/sketch elements from transfer to PARTdesigner, mark the respective layer row and in the option field, set a checkmark at Ignore associated elements (more than one is possible in order).
Lines that cover each other are deleted before the sketch is imported.
Possible spaces between sketch elements are closed, since the sketch cannot be saved with interrupted contours in PARTdesigner.
Via Execute DXFHealer you can activate the function directly upon import.
For the
already imported sketch, use the button
in the toolbar.
The following examples show the results of an error cleanup:

If 2
points have a smaller distance than pointEps, they will
be considered equal. Through pointEps the number
of the decimal places (in the example value below '3' [for
pointEps,
select no values under 0,001]) has been set. For the midpoints
of arcs, more decimal points may occur.
pointEps=0.001
If
the difference between 2 angles is smaller than angleEps degree,
they will be considered equal.
angleEps=1.0
If a
polygon has more than
corners that are located on a circle, then it is
advanced by a circle and/or arc.minVertexCountForArc
minVertexCountForArc=12
A
polygon chain must at least have the length minLinesForArc in
order to be advanced by an arc.
minLinesForArc=4
An
element is seen as small, in other words it is removed it is
smaller than smallAbs or than
smallRel
in relation to the entire size.
smallRel=0.0001 smallAbs=0.1
Maximum distance to original (absolute and relative)
maxDistToOrigRel=0.0001 maxDistToOrigAbs=0.1
ABS are absolute values, REL is relative to size of part. If more is to be removed, then select the values larger. small<x> and maxDistrToOrig<x> should have about the same dimensions.
