4.7.8.10.10. DXFHealer

DXF files are often imprecise. During the DXF import the DXFHealer automatically conducts an error correction so that problems do not arise later during export to the CAD system.[97]

Activate the checkbox Execute DXFHealer on the DXF Import page. (The dialog page shows up in PARTdesigner, in the Sketcher during the sketch import when choosing *.dxf)

For an already imported sketch, open the DXFHealer via the button from the button bar.

Examples

The following examples show the results of an error correction:
