Recurring vectorcraft (storytold) errors, by impact

  1. 1DXF export fit curves to circles by radius only, so a closed path that ran 20 degrees along an arc and back exported as a full 360-degree CIRCLE and the drawing extents grew to match, so downstream CAM would have cut a circle where the drawing had a sliver.MCAD · Agent failure · 1 report74
  2. 2DXF export checks that a closed path's points sit on a circle but not how far round it goes, so a 20 degree sliver that runs out and back gets written as a full circle, and the drawing extents grow with it.MCAD · Agent failure · 1 report66
  3. 3DXF integer fields silently truncated fractional values on import.MCAD · Agent failure · 1 report66
