Hello,

I'm trying to create a radius along an edge 3,000 mm long. I am being told by Creo that I cannot enter a value lower than 0,30, but I would like to use 0,25. Is it to do with the minimum radius setting being a percentage of the edge length? How do I fix this please?

Many thanks.

Andy,

you have a long model (3000 mm) and small radius. Therefore you have to change model accuracy from relative to absolute and find appropriate value.

Thanks Martin. When I go into "Prepare model" I can only specify a new relative value (currently 0.0012). How to I determine absolute, please?

Andy,

put the following options into config.pro and restart Creo.

ENABLE_ABSOLUTE_ACCURACY yes

Thanks Chaps, I'm getting there slowly, but not I'm quite there yet.

I have absolute working as an option. The default value was ~0.3. I have tried to enter in 0.01 as suggested (unless I've misinterpreted?) but the following error occurs:

What is this value actually linked to when relative (a percentage of the maximum edge length in the model?) and what is it driving when absolute, please?

Many thanks,

Andy
