The Optimized Fence Clipping in CONNECT is not working.

Hi Tom,

I was not able to replicate the behavior you are describing.
Can you please elaborate on what you are doing and share a dataset:
- which CONNECT version are you using?
- are you working in a 2D or 3D file, is the file format DGN or DWG?
- are the shapes really planar?
- did you customize your environment, if so, can you try also in an 'out of the box' installation?
- are you copying data from a reference file into a master file?
- next to:
File>Settings>User>Preferences>Operation: Fence: Use Optimized Fence Clipping
also check ON:
- File>Save As> Options>Reference Tab> Allow Optimized Clip for Reference Merge

HTH.

Regards,

Henk

I am working in a 3D DGN, CONNECT v10.00.00.25. I thought the shapes were planar, even new shapes I drew would not close. I exported to a 2D DGN and everything worked fine.

The file I was working in had merged reference files created from KML and ESRI Shapefiles. Also, the DGN has a defined Geographic Coordinate System.

I'm having the same issue in U8.

I have Optimized Fence Clipping turned on.

1 - Tested in a DGN, 2D, simply trying to cut a line with a fence clip. The result is a complex line with two handles where the fence cross.

2 - The Fence Stretch doesn't work as desired, some elements are stretched some are not. For reference, the ones that are not stretched don't have locked turn on in properties.
