Can Data Accuracy Change during CAD translations?
YES!! Accuracy can change in many ways. Starting from the native sending system, what you see on the screen isn't necessarily what's in the 3D database. 3D modeling kernels can force geometry to connect or treat elements as though they connect even though they don't. Neutral-format data exchange can expose these inconsistencies.
