Setting Arc Tolerance Representation

REPRESENTATION DARCTOLERANCE

Controls the arc tolerance used when representing certain curves as polygon segments or faceting planes. The smaller the arc tolerance, the smoother the curve drawn, but the slower the graphical performance.

The tolerances used for most curve drawing in MODEL are controlled automatically by the graphical system. The REPRE DARC command controls the following aspects only:

Filleted vertices used in the representation of extrusions; for example, Section Profiles from the Catalogue, Panel Loops, etc.

Items which include holes (but only when REPRE HOLES is set to On; see Setting Holes Representation).

The default setting is 10 mm. The minimum permitted setting is 0.1 mm.


Example:
REPR DARC 5	Sets the arc tolerance to 5 mm.
REP DARC DEF	Resets arc tolerance to 10 mm.
