Hi! To use the Boundary tools, to make objects connected outside a circle works fine. But when I want to make objects inside a circle, it does not work. No matter what i try, it does not workHas anybody a solution to this, or is it simply not possible?
Regards ;-)
use the Trim command, see attached.
Thanks Chris. Yes, I know about the Trim possibility. But I make Gera Wheels, in many variations (Gear wheels for Watches), and in such cases, it's also not useful, as it simply takes too long time to use, with many objects.
Well, according to your post you figured out how to do what you wanted with the tool you wanted to use.
Glad it worked now are you providing the actual manufacturing drawing for the gear creation machine?
Actually not a gear creation machine, but a watch.But to stress off by this, I enjoy make drawings of other things; I put in a link to one of these drawings. So you have a bit to comment ;-)

Nice image, I said gear creation machine because I thought you were designing a watch for manufacturing because your referred to the gears needing to be correct of the watch would not function.
I create files for proofing of a cut, bent, laser engraved or whatever type of manufacturing object.
However, I also have to create the digital file that is used for the manufacturing equipment. Not always as the machines interface software may be proprietary, but if it's fully supporting an export filter that Draw does well than I do provide the file.
In any case I have to have an exact mechanical drawing for engineering and government approval.
All the Gear wheels I draw, are later on, to be used in watches, that's why they have to be extremely accurate. As I can read, you do create things, which in a way end in same way, namely as a finished product, somewhere, and where I think accuracy play the same role.
I guess, that most gear wheels today (in watch industry), are laser cutted, as lasers today are able to cut with specifikations, down to very small measurements. And as you know, the lasers itself, are not better, than the drawing who feed them.
So pretty interesting development that happens in these years, in that specific way of manufacturing.
Gears are one of the few things I haven't done but what I provide to the vendors depends more on their situation than anything else.
The problem is unlike graphics with global standards there is no universal CAD standard. If I can I stick to CAD vendors that support the latest versions of PDF, set Draw to a high level of accuracy and handle it that way. If I have to use a vendor with a proprietary CAD then I got on site to work that out.
