I have a simple 2d design that was constructed using several line segments. I have not been able to figure out how to weld the individual segments into one singe segment. When I extruded the item it left a hollow void. Only the lines extruded when it was suppose to extrude to a .125" plate. Any ideas what im doing wrong here?
arronpatton said: I am left with 8 individual segments. 4 lines and 4, 1/4 circles that form the box. If I extrude these 8 segments I end up with an extruded border and not an extruded plate because the segments are not joined into one. Is there a reason why I cant join these together?
I don't have CorelCAD myself, but you could try using the "join" command, this should join all the items together into a single object (polyline) and then you should be able to extrude the object..
Perhaps the CorelCAD "weld" function is basically the same as the "join" command, in that case it should work but only if all items are coplanar and touching.
Did you try using fillet with a radius of zero to connect the lines and circles/arcs to make sure there are no gaps left before using the weld function. Even a tiny gap of one millionth of a millimeter might cause the command to fail. If the trim command is not a perfect trim there might be a very tiny gap left, hence the fillet suggestion.
