The following occurs in both
8.13.24317.13001, 2024-11-12
7.37.24107.15001, 2024-04-16
_Convert _Output=Arcs _SimplifyInput=No _AngleTolerance=5 _MinLength=1 _MaxLength=0
on the NURBS curve in Convert_Tolerance=0.3dm (44.1 KB)
setting Tolerance to the following values produces the arc counts:
| Tolerance | Resultant arc count |
|---|---|
| 0 | 16 |
| 3.0 | 2 |
| 1.0 | 4 |
| .1 | 8 |
| 0.01 | 14 |
| 0.009 | 14 |
| 0.008 | 16 |
| 1e-5 | 16 |
When setting Tolerance, the command lines states:
Distance tolerance at segment midpoints. Zero for no limit
If this were true, I’d expect Tolerance=0 to result in 2 arcs.
Tolerance The tolerance at segment midpoints, overriding the system tolerance setting.
If this were true, with the model’s Absolute tolerance of 0.01, I’d expect Tolerance=0 to result in 14 arcs.
Is this a bug, or is there any documentation explaining this behavior?
