Setting accuracy to 0 results in no shape spacing

archive
archive over 19 years ago

Hello all,

I have set the accuracy to 0mil [0 decimal places] in Setup > Drawing Size. Once I click OK, the spacing between shapes and everything drops to zero even though I have 8mil in all blanks under the Global Dynamic Shape Parameter menu Clearance tab.

I have thought of 3 possibilities: Is there a setting somewhere else that I've missed? Could the clearances go to 0 because of a math rounding error? Maybe it's just a bug?

Thanks in advance.

    The problem was that Dynamic Fill was set to Disabled. Changing this setting to Smooth fixed everything. The Dynamic Fill settings are accessable from Shape > Global Dynamic Params under the Shape Fill tab.
