How do I check for open contours?
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2008 5:56 pm
Hi,
I created a drawing with QCad 2.2.1 and I've sent it to a company who should make a front panel out of it.
Unfortunately they came back to me with the comment that they can't use the .dxf-file in their CAM system because my drawing has 'open contours'.
Now my question, how can I check if a drawing has open contours in QCad?
And how to prevent 'open contours'? I mean, if I snap to the end points of the lines, there shouldn't be any openings in the contour. Am I right?
I did a search in the Internet and found that there are tools in the market which are doing this job but why should I buy a seperate tool if I have QCad?
BR,
Kurt
