Audit geometry

Audit geometry

nanoCAD button – Utilities > Audit Geometry
Manu: File– Drawing Utilities> Audit Geometry
Context menu of document tab: Drawing Utilities> Audit Geometry
Command line: AUDITGEOMETRY

The command is intended to identify and fix problematic drawing objects located outside the range 1е+20 along Z axis.
The command ensures correction of Z-coordinates for objects located on frozen, locked and disabled layers.
The first opening of a file is accompanied by an automatic check of objects geometry. When geometry errors are found, a dialogue is displayed with a message and a choice of action.

Fix – immediately run the Audit Geometry command to fix errors.
Cancel – open the file without correcting errors.

If errors are not fixed, when files are opened again (after re-saving), the geometry audit is started by the command manually.

NOTE: Hatch audit is not performed in an automatic mode. To find and fix problematic hatches, it is necessary to run the audit manually.

Audit modes:

Audit Z_coordinates Auditing Z-coordinates of all objects in a drawing.
Audit_Hatches Auditing the correct display of hatches within the boundaries of contours.

Audit Z coordinates

Audit options:

Yes(fix_errors) Fix the errors found.
Yes(fix_and_log_errors) Fix errors and generate report on found and fixed errors.
No Do not fix errors.
No(only_log_errors) Create a report on detected errors without fixing them.

Detected and fixed errors are reported in the Geometry audit log dialogue

By clicking the Log dialogue button, you can save the log information to a separate file. By default, the Log file is saved in a drawing folder and assigned with the drawing file name with *.log extension.
When saving reports of consecutive audits of Z coordinates and hatches for one drawing, 2 log files will be created:

• first – File name.log;
• second with adding the index – File name_1.log.
  

Command prompts:

Select audit type [audit_Z_coordinates/Audit_hatches] Select Audit_Z_coordinates mode.

Do you want to fix errors? Select the required audit option.
[Yes(fix_errors)/Yes(fix_and_log_erros)/No/No(only_log_erros)]

Audit Hatches

Select audit type [audit_Z_coordinates/audit_Hatches/] Select Audit_hatches mode.
Audit logs are displayed in the command line.
