Find break in sketch geometry

HughesTooling — Sat, 23 Mar 2024 09:50:58 GMT

Here are some pictures to show how I find gaps in profiles. You can find the gap quite quickly by drawing a few lines.

Open profile.

Horizontal line shows gap is in top half.

Vertical line shows gap is in left corner of profile.

Circle around corner with gap. Now you know where the gap is delete the circle and try extend on the arc and line.

A quicker way to find the opening with a zig zag line.

Mark.

Nice way of doing it.

Wouldnt it be nicer if the program placed a red circle around the break and displayed a warning saying some thing like

"open profile click OK to fix or cancel to continue"

a ok click would zoom into the break piont so you could fix it.

There is an app here that finds open ends but it doesn't find problems that a bad spline can cause.

LOL,

No Mac version for it though!

Apps are great. It should be in the main programe!

Here's the mac version, Link

Edit just noticed if you click the OS button on the apps page it will take you to the version for your os.

Here's a screencast that shows an imported design made from splines, there's a break in one of the splines but Check Sketch doesn't find the problem. Using the method from the first post you can track the problem down.

Brillant - yet so obvious(now we know). Thanks

Thank you, I am new to Fusion 360 and CAD programs in general. I was watching some youtube videos on how to do a project when I ran into an issue. I was about to give up when I found this thread and easily fixed the problem

Brilliant--saved me HOURS on an imported SVG.

Thanks!

Oh, man. So simple and helpful. Thanks for this.

Drives me bonkers that Fusion360 is so crummy at importing svgs, and doesn’t have any vector validation tools. Seems so obvious. Something at which Vetric is so much better.

That is very clever and worked great. I am mildly frustrated I didn't think of that.

Another solution approach

If you can't find where the Sketch is unConstrained (no Lock icon) use the Text Command
Sketch.ShowUnderconstrained

Find Break in Sketch Geometry

(view in My Videos)

Thanks
