Checking Turn Radius Errors  

This task shows you how to check your document for turn errors. This command determines if any of the turns have values that are in violation of the parameters as defined in the Turn Design Rule. See also Using the Definition Dialog Box.

 

 1. With your document open click the Validate Run Turns button . The Validate Run Turns dialog box displays.

If a run is already selected it will display in the window.
2. Select one of the options:
  • Current selection lets you select runs in your document.
  • All runs under the active parent in the specifications tree.
  • All runs created under a particular Line.
3. After you make your selection, the runs will display in the window in the Turn Rule Used column with their status indicated by a YES or NO - NO means one or more turns in that run does not conform to the turn rules.

If you click the Select All NO button then all runs that are in violation of the turn rules will be selected.
4. Select the run you want to validate in the dialog box window - the run will highlight in the viewer. Click the Run Details button to see information about the run in the Run Details dialog box.

If you want to reset some of the turns in a run then select them in the Run Details dialog box and click the Reset Run Turns button . The turn radius for the selected turns will be reset according to the design rules. If the line has more than one turn radius or diameter factor then the Multiple Rule Found dialog box will display. Select one of the values - it will apply to the selected turns.
5. If you want to reset all the turns in a run then select the run in the Validate Run Turns dialog box and click the Reset Run Turns button. (If the line has more than one turn radius or diameter factor then the Multiple Rule Found dialog box will display. Select one of the values.) All turns in the run will be reset according to the design rule.
