I recently tried using Make 2d to generate some lines off a project and the lines are coming out so jagged. I have no idea what the problem is, I have tried so many things and nothing is working. Attached is an image of the issue, I am not sure if I am supposed to send the entire file, I have not used this forum before. Please help.
Is your original very far from the origin?
no it is not.
Can you post a small sample part that shows this problem with instructions on how to reproduce?
Also run SystemInfo in Rhino and copy/paste the results here.

I am sorry, i don’t really understand the first thing you are asking me to do. I am fairly new to Rhino.
Select a small part of your model - like just the element you showed in your image above - and Export it as a new file. Open that file and make sure the view is adjusted as you want for the Make2D - also test to see if it has the same problem. If it does, post the exported file here (zip it if it’s large, the limit is around 10Mb) along with the settings you used for the Make2D (just make a screenshot of the dialog).

Thank you for the clarification
It is the view in the perspective window that I need.
Yes, this looks bad, I tried a few things and I don’t have any real solution for you… in V7. I tried in V8 and the result is not perfect - but much better. All I did was increase the file tolerance from 0.01 to 0.001 which also made the result a bit cleaner; I panned the Perspective view slightly to get the whole sample part. There are still some spurious curves (examples in red) as well as some missing ones, but it can be cleaned up with a bit of time and manual work.
Unfortunately Make2D is not one of Rhino’s strongest points, improvements are always being worked on, in this case there has been some progress from V7 to V8.

Hi Ivana -
Thanks for that sample file. As Mitch mentions, we are always trying to improve the code based on specific cases that are provided. I’ve put this on the to-do list as RH-81413 Make2D: Issue sample file
Note that your document tolerance is rather sloppy for this object. There are features in your model that are less than 1 order of magnitude bigger than the model tolerance. This should have been modeled with tighter tolerances to begin with. I’m not sure if that has an influence here, that’s something for the developer to look into.
For what it’s worth - in Rhino 8, you could print to a vector PDF and get better results.

Thank you for the response. What i am understanding is that I would have to increase the file tolerance for better results? I am sorry, like I said before, I am not familiar with rhino.
Thank you for your response. Noted. I do not know much about tolerance and magnitude. I will research on that. Thank you.
