What is this sliver?

[Nicinus]

The area calculation doesn't seem to interpret this arc correctly for some reason. I have several other arcs in the same polyline and all appear correct except this one, where it seems to take a short cut. Anyone seen something similar?

It's a polyline that has crossed itself, pull it away and fix it by dragging it on a corner

I am not sure if that is what it is. So funny, I saw something like that today, and I don't think that is it. Zoom in real close to a point, and see if you see two handles. Post it Nic, and I will check mine in the morning to see if P is correct.

I don't think that is it either. I can recreate it by creating these three curves (using the radius, length, and direction in the picture) and the anomaly shows even when it isn't a closed loop. It could be some rounding thing due to the large radius perhaps, or maybe some setting controlling curve segments?

A side question from a beginner, but why do I get a little icon attached to the mouse when I deselect angle snap? I notice I get it with the Concentric tool as well, but not with Grid and Object snaps. The closest I get in the reference guide is that this has something to do with edit behaviors but I was kind of hoping someone could give me a quick rundown.

Wrong again Mr. Hall. The P. Man called it in my case. I had multiple lines on top of P.L. Thanks P.

As usual ,I was just guessing, that's all I can do without posting a plan.

[Nicinus]

I can't seem to upload a plan. It says invalid file... I'm using the little clip attachment icon?

Nicinius:

close the plan in chief, then zip it first

look at the attachment dbx for allowable file types

zipping also reduces file size (sometimes)

Thanks Lew, trying again.
