Depending on the combination of radii, clearances and profile dimensions conflicts may arise as illustrated in the figure below.

R3/R4 (R6/R7) may overlap. In such a case the system treats the problem in the following way..
|
1 |
R4/C3/C4 are always kept |
|
|
2 |
R3 < 0: |
R3 is kept and will be connected directly to R4. C2 will be adjusted accordingly. |
|
R3 > 0: |
C2 is kept and R3 is adjusted to fit in, connected directly to R4. R6/R7 are treated in a similar way. |
|
In a similar way R2/R3 (R7/R8) may overlap. Then the starting point of R3 will be moved to have the same starting position in the x-direction as the ending point of R2. R2 will be moved downwards if R3 and R4 are connected. Normally a knuckle will be introduced between R2 and R3.
R7/R8 will be treated accordingly and R7 will be changed in case of conflict
