Sketch error

Hi all, maybe stupid question but where can I make sketch analyses to see what is wrong where is section open?


Thanks
 
Are you using wildfire 4 ? There are new icons in the sketch dashboard which allow you to see the sketch as a coloured patch if it is closed, when it isnt closed you can highlight the gaps in larger red dots.


If using a lower release, try pulling parts of the sketch around ( then Undo ) until you find the area thats broken ?


This topic comes up quite often. Wildfire 4 has made it a little less painful.
 
Unfortunately I'm using WF2. I had a lot of problems to find out where the sketch is open after modification.


but thanks anyway.
 
Also, delete/undoall the entities in the sketch one by one to check for duplicate entities.

Thanks for advises. Finally there is non analyses in sketcher to find out where gaps or double curves are?

. Like I say above though, WF4 has made things a little easier.


If your bringing in from Autocad, I find its much easier to spot the double entity`s in CAD, the line thickness shows up a little differently.
