[GiDlist] move - scale problem

[Mark Smith]

I have a simple 2D model which is quite small fits inside a 0.64x4.6
rectangle, it has some small features e.g. a 0.02 fillet and a 4.0x0.032
rectangle, when I try to scale the object by a factor of 0.001 certain
features disappear? i.e. the fillet and some lines why? I have tried setting
the import tolerance to something very small but it make no difference.
it even happens on a 1x1 square (delete surface) with a 0.01 fillet then
scale by 0.001

regards
mark

Hello Mark,

You must select the "Duplicate entities" copy/move option,
then the entities are always created, without compare to be joined with
other near entities.

(unselectign duplicate entities will be made like a collapse, with a fixed
tolerance)

Regards

Enrique Escolano
