To Exclude Round Pieces
To exclude round pieces, the current round set must contain two or more round pieces that use one explicit placement reference. This can occur if the round geometry breaks due to non-tangent chains. It can also occur if a single round piece cannot be created at a certain radius value, for example, a round that is too large to sweep around a corner.
1. Select the references for the round and click
Model >
Round. The
Round tab opens, and preview geometry of the round appears.
2. Click the Pieces tab.
3. On the Sets list, select the round set that contains the piece that you want to exclude. All of the round pieces for the current round set are listed in the Pieces table.
