Hi,

I'm a new user to alibre coming from Solidworks and AutoCad. I've run into an issue I've never had with either of those programs before. I'm sure it's an easy fix but I can't seem to figure it out.

I'm making a simple circle with a radius of 10 mm using origo for the center. Extruding that to a 20 mm cylinder and then wanting to make a 10 mm reference line from the center(origo) to the top. But I'm about 0.17 mm long on the top and the same length too short on the bottom. It's driving me crazy and I can't seem to figure out how to fix it.

I'd be grateful for any help.

Cheers

Hi,
could you attach the part so we can understand Mr? Thank you! I also advise you to write the category of alibre (Atom, Professional
or Expert) in your signature so that it is easier to answer you in a way pertinent to your level!
Regards,

This appears to be a graphics issue. You may want to check your Display Facet Resolution:

When set to something less than its Fine setting it may appear that line nodes are not coincident with part edges.

When set to Fine then the line node and edges will align.

Added the signature, thank you for the suggestion. I'd attach the part but HaroldL solved it.
