TOLERANCE

ImPLANT-I.exe uses several geometric tolerances when translating primitives; for example, to decide whether two points are coincident. We recommend that under most circumstances you use the default settings, as these have been chosen to be suitable for a wide range of dgn files.

• The TOLERANCE command is provided for the rare cases when altering the tolerances can improve the translation.

• TOLERANCE DEFAULT restores the recommended values.

• TOLERANCE QUERY displays the current tolerance values (equivalent to QUERY TOLERANCE).

• TOLERANCE FACTOR scales all the tolerances in proportion, and should be the first option to try if you want to adjust the tolerances. A factor of 1.0 is the same as DEFAULT, a factor of 2.0 loosens the tolerances, and a factor of 0.5 tightens them.

The other tolerance options affect individual tolerances used in various circumstances. These should very rarely need individual adjustment, and will not be further explained here.
