Rounding Radius for DXF/DWG Reference Objects or Cross Sections
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.
