Gmhall Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 While creating a boundary I am experiencing this error from time to time. I have tried auditing the drawings, restarting computer, importing objecting to a new file and about everything I can think of to solve this. Is there maybe a tolerance setting for the boundary somewhere that I can adjust? As you can see the boundary bulged outside the filleted area. This error has occurred in a few drawings so I do not think it is a problem with the file. Any advice on how to solve this would be great. A 5 second task has turned into a 10 minute job when the boundary fails like this. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzframpton Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Boundaries have always been finicky in AutoCAD. I usually trace over items I need using the PLINE command and CLOSE the PLINE at the end of the connection. Even then I've seen the boundary command have errors.

Gmhall Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 I can use the PLINE command and my have to but it again takes a 5 second job of creating boundaries into a 10 minute job of going around a PEDIT all the lines to join them. If there is a way to solve this I sure would like to. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzframpton Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 You can do a Join All with the PEDIT command. Do you know how to do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmhall Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 yeah, that is what i did. many years ago before I discovered the boundary command that is how i would create a continuous line. Its just not as easy as click and its done. hahaha I just hate little bugs that pop up and destroy your production rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzframpton Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Yeah, true. I've never found a great way to solve the infamous Boundary errors that propagate from time to time. Maybe someone else can post their techniques. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmhall Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 BTW, the join commands works well too. I just want my boundary command working correctly as I use it a lot in my drawings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmhall Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 This is an example of my 3D modeling which has to be turned into 2D drawings for producing parts. i use the boundary command to create every single part from the 3D objects. So again, it would be nice to be able to use the boundary command without fearing it will have an error that goes unnoticed until the parts have been cut. hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
