It's my understanding that the miter limit used when creating a contour is 15 degrees:
Is there any place in the regular user interface to change that miter limit?
If I create the contour using a VBA macro, that miter limit can be set as low as 1 degree.
Mek said:Miter limit is set up on Outline properties - F12 with object selected you can changed mit. limt for selected shape (probably 15deg as initial set up when CD installed). Or F12 with nothnig selected and change mitier limit for graphics.
I appreciate your willingness to help, but I already know how to set the miter limit for mitered corners in the Outline properties.
I am asking about the miter limit that is used when creating a Contour.
I know how to set it when creating a contour in a VBA macro. I'm trying to find out if there is a way to set it in the regular user interface.

Miter limit is copied from the control curve, I am not aware that can be changed independently.
