Same Segment Start and End Point Warning
3 ]# T, S, \6 o5 X: S7 J# pReply How do I get rid of these warnings? They seem to happen with the edges of auto-generated fills. There are usually dozens of them on layers with ground fills. I've historically ignored them, but they are annoying me.5 D0 J: L5 @: e2 H

Reply Just a thought...by chance was anything brought in from AutoCad file. I know when I have worked between Layout to AutoCad to PCB Editor and had a square drawn translating to AutoCad it would add a dot at the end point of each line. Could this be the problem( i! k4 d% f5 L2 l, ? Y

3 t& z. y5 w1 o! R: r* @Answer Reply When you state that your desing has an accuracy of 3 do you mean that in the Design tab of the Design Parameter Editor the Accuracy = 3 or do you mean 0? # w, h! p6 c! D0 a+ | c

If your design is in MILS with an accuracy of 3 that equals .000001 inches and your output is 5 decimal places or .00001 inches which is one decimal place less than the design is at.. m9 T5 A, [1 g- [& j9 x
0 l9 e! F/ }) w& r2 s- PWhen using Raster based artwork you should use an accuracy in the design that will allow the artwork to generate the data without the possibility of rounding down. Generally the use of a MILS 1 database (.0001 inches) or equivilent will eliminate any problems with rounding down data.

I'd suggest, when using raster artwork, that you desin in no greater than an accuracy of MILS 1 (.0001 inches). This will allow your artwork accuracy to generate data at the full precision of it's output without the possibility of rounding down data.
