| + | The centerline data that defines the tube shape can be placed on any unique AutoCAD layer. The program recognizes 3-D lines on a designated search layer that define the end points and intersection points. (The search layer is programmable.) 3-D arcs on that layer (or another unique layer) are used to determine the centerline bend radii at each bend. The program also allows you to skip using 3-D arcs in order to build programs with a default radius. The Centerline Search Layer dialog allows you to select the search layer from a list of layers available in the current DXF file.</td> |

| + | A programmable intersection tolerance ensures that intersecting lines are matched using the DXF2KEINS matching algorithm - even if rounding errors exist in the data. With this feature, it is possible to have geometry that is just "close" (not perfect) and the DXF2SV converter will still be able to build the centerline data. |
