Notches when creating an ellipsis

[Johndoe77]

When cutting an ellipsis in sheet metal it is edged/notched or not a straight elliptic curve! Not only in ProE but also when the laser is making the cut! See attachment.
HELP...

JohnDoe77,

Try seeing if one of the following config.pro settings will help

|----Option----------|----Value--------------------------------|
| edge_display_quality | (Low, Normal*, High, Very_high) |
| save_model_display | (Wireframe, Shading_lod *, Shading_high)|

If the curve is calculated (i.e. curve from equation or relation) then I have seen influence similar to that with a large part accuracy. If the default is relative .0012 then try reducing it and see if it helps. Not sure though as I started with wildfire 3.0 and typically only see the effect of the accuracy on curves which are calculated via equations or if the ellipse is a small feature in comparison to a large part or model size.

Good luck,
