Corner rounding tool question. Sheet metall. Bug or a feature?

Ok guys, new problem.

Corner rounding tool.

For some reason, I don't understand, the tool doesn't round the corners, on the radius section, the first time. The tool does only half of the operation and I have to do this operation again to close the problem. The tool does not support area selection, I have to make each edge selection manually. When there are a lot of details, it is very difficult to check every millimeter.

Is this a bug or a feature?

Hi! Many thanks for sharing the issue! This is a bug. Actually, the bug isn't in Corner Round. It is actually in Rectangular Pattern. The Curve Length option isn't precise enough. It goes by the Linear Dimension Display Precision (Tools -> Doc Options -> Units). By default, it is three decimal places. If you change it to higher precision, you will notice the problem goes away.

I need to work with the project team to understand the behavior better.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the answer @johnsonshiue .

I tried increasing the data precision to 8 decimal places, but it didn't work. I clicked rebuild the model and even started building again, but the result is the same.

In any case, thanks for checking! I hope your team will make some adjustments in future patches.

P.S. I also have problems with the Rectangular Pattern tool. I will open a new thread for this.
