CAD drafting Audit Geometry 6 Command line: AUDITGEOMETRY

The command is intended to identify and fix problematic drawing objects located outside the range 1e+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 dialog 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)	Fixes the errors found.
Yes(fix_and_log_errors)	Fixes errors and generate report on found and fixed errors.
No	Does not fix errors.
No(only_log_errors)	Creates a report on detected errors without fixing them.

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

CAD software Audit Geometry 7

By clicking the Log dialog 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? [Yes(fix_errors)/Yes(fix_and_log_erros)/No/No(only_log_erros)]	Select the required audit option.

Audit Hatches

Select audit type [audit_Z_coordinates/audit_Hatches/]

Select Audit_hatches mode.

Audit logs are displayed in the command line.
