Hi, tried to trim the ellipse between 0 to 360 degrees, not getting a
full ellipse.
Draw[32]> trim t e 0 6.28571428571428571428

to check whether an IGES file from this trimmed curve is created OK.
regards

Hi,
If you second parameter means 2*PI,
it seems that you are using incorrect PI value
3.1415926535897932384626433832795 * 2 = 6.283185307179586476925286766559.

tried this to make a full 'trimmed' ellipse,

Draw[3]> ellipse e 0 0 0 0 0 1 50 20
Draw[4]> trim t e 0 2*PI
An exception was caught 002EB850 : Standard_ConstructionError: Geom_TrimmedCurve
::U1 == U2
** Exception ** 002EB850 : Standard_ConstructionError: Geom_TrimmedCurve::U1 ==
U2

Hi,
Draw has predefined variable (but not ):
Draw[2]> dval pi
3.1415926535897931
Draw[4]> dval PI
0
As result you got the exception.

Hi,
If you are referring to the last script:
>> ellipse e 0 0 0 0 0 1 50 20
>> trim t e 0 2*pi

It should work (see below):
Draw[30]> ellipse e 0 0 0 0 0 1 50 20
Draw[31]> trim t e 0 2*pi
Draw[32]> brepiges e w:/t2.iges
unit (write) : MM
mode write : Faces
To modifiy : command param
1 Shapes written, giving 1 Entities
Now, to write a file, command : writeall filename
Output on file : w:/t2.iges
Write OK

Draw[33]> brepiges t w:/t1.iges
unit (write) : MM
mode write : Faces
To modifiy : command param
1 Shapes written, giving 1 Entities
Now, to write a file, command : writeall filename
Output on file : w:/t1.iges
Write OK

Regards
Sergey

No , i created a prism from the trimmed ellipse(t)and
tried to write to IGES, then getting the same exception.
Yes, I am able to write ellipse/trim ellipse to an IGES files.
thanks Sergey.

Just for a record.
The bug was fixed in 6.5.0 (or rather in 6.4.1 if to track back using Release Notes). However in RN it is referred to as 22156.

Sorry - OCC22126 in RN.
(Editing the forum posts would really be helpful to avoid re-posting).
