The Optimized Fence Clipping in CONNECT is not working.

Tom Murphy

I am trying to maintain closed shapes during  a fence clip operation. I have Optimized Fence Clipping toggled on, but shapes always drop to lines and line strings. Are there any other settings or preferences that need to be set so the fence clipping operation will not drop closed shapes to individual elements? Any tips?

    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.
