Question: Is there a way to make the drawing and the reference object in the model have a smooth radius? Can I add more segments somehow to make this look more natural? The DXF file looks correctly in a viewer.

Answer: To see a smoother radius for cross-sections or sketched profiles, you must define the number of points used for chamfers with the advanced option XS_​CHAMFER_​ACCURACY_​FACTOR, and also change the angles dividing a cross-section chamfer using the advanced option XS_​CS_​CHAMFER_​DIVIDE_​ANGLE. To do so:

1. change XS_​CHAMFER_​ACCURACY_​FACTOR=1
2. change XS_​CS_​CHAMFER_​DIVIDE_​ANGLE=10
3. Hit Apply, Save (you must hit the save button; not just save by closing the model), and Re-open the model.
