Hi Seth, As I've been working on the Constraint Solver for a while, I'd like to add my 5 cents too. The solver allows to define arcs in different ways: - center/angles/radius - start/end point (tangential to adjacent lines/arcs) The input parameters to the CS is some subset of the above. The outputs are start/end/midpoint, which define the geometry of an arc for other processes (plotting/drawing/etc.). In order to derive the arc from its definition based radius/angles, I need that radius and angles to be stored in the file too - for example calculating the radius back and forth from endpoints/midpoint would accumulate rounding errors. What would you say about storing the start/end/midpoint and the set of CS arc input parameters which have been specified by the user?
