Design Edge path conversion problems

Post by i_r_machinist »

I may have to. I made the same post on the users forum, with no replies.

Under setings--offset / convert, top right hand corner, where it says offest and there is a box around some options. Check chamfer outside corners, angle should be above 179 degrees, and check the box that says exclude crossovers.

See if that doesn't help.
