Checking your design for errors

After you have accepted your design and are ready to purchase it, get a quote, or create a requisition, check it for errors:

In the 3D View, choose File > Check Design for Problems.
If there are no problems, a message is displayed to that effect. If there are problems (such as an item outside the boundary or a cutout in an exclusion zone), the Design Errors dialog opens. The faces with problems are listed at the top, and the individual parts and their errors are listed below.

If you click Open Face Editor for a face, the face is displayed with all problem items selected. If you click Display Error for a specific error, the face is displayed with the error selected.

If you receive the error object outside boundary but the Face Editor does not display the item, look in the Properties panel on the far right of the screen. If the object's coordinates show very high values, such as Origin(X): 981.252 and Origin(Y): 371.757, it is off the screen. Correct the coordinates if it is supposed to be in the design, or delete it.
Make the corrections, accept the changes, and repeat the design check until you have no more errors.
Note: If you do not check your design before choosing any of the Instant Quotes and Purchasing commands, Designer automatically checks the design for errors and, if found, displays the Design Errors dialog.
