Question

round failed or not

What exactly does the little orange dot mean when you look at the round dialog box and it shows next to an edge that I rounded?

I think it means that it "assumed" to have found a replacement edge for the one I redefined.

I don't know that I like it making those assumptions but it was right this time, but I specifically remember one the other day that it assumed incorrectly. No failures, it just moved my round and the software was happy happy happy...but I was not particularly pleased.

    That "orange dot" means that the edge or reference is not resolved and needs
    attention.

    Hi Michael,

    I realise this is a stale thread but I couldn't see anything else related (probably poor searching.

    Do not look at the forum daily as I used to when it was all on the exploder (or even weekly, or monthly).

    Anyhow I wonder about this functionality.  Sure I understand that the rounds I had have been reassigned to other edges, due to my remodeling, by some PTC algorithm and that sometimes it can choose wrong.  What I want is a function that when I look in my round and see some orange dots I can verify them as acceptable and thereby remove the orange dot.  For a long time now I have either deleted all the orange dots and remade those references or sometimes I have left them if time was tight and remaking references on something that worked was not best use of my time.

    In short I want to scan through the list then be able to RMB and have an option to either delete or accept the orange references.

    Hope this makes sense.

    Regards, Brent
