Description

This command is a powerful tool to analyze and automatically fix problems in 3D geometry supported by ACIS kernel (3D solids, surfaces).

Note: It is recommended to run DMAUDIT whenever 3D geometry is imported.

Method

There are two methods to audit the drawing by selecting one or more entities or the entire model:

  • Check problems
  • Fix problems

The command opens the Command Context panel.
