DATA TRANSFER, ESPECIALLY WITH SURFACES AND SOLIDS, CAN BE FAR FROM PERFECT. HEALING TECHNOLOGY, HOWEVER, CAN HELP CORRECT MANY TRANSLATION ERRORS FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF APPLICATIONS.
With all the errors that can occur with imported surfaces as CAD files move from one system to another, healing problematic geometry is a critical issue. Despite this, for some users healing is not an option. This is because for geometry to be healed, the entities that make up the surface have to be changed. This could be as minor as a surface getting extended to a major operation such as an edge being moved or a surface rotated. For users needing precise surfaces, for example, an ...
