One of the people I support recently discovered that the display of 2D circles in modeling workplanes is not as accurate as it is in ME10/Drafting. He also discovered that you cannot select an intersection with a circle if you zoom in beyond a certain level.
This is difficult to explain without pictures, so I have attached a MHT file which describes how to duplicate the problem. You should be able to view this attachment by just clicking on it, but I haven't tested with any browsers other than IE. If you have problems viewing it let me know and I can post a PDF which is not as sharp but good enough to convey the information.
If we duplicate the process described in this file in Drafting, we do not see any of the problems we encountered in Modeling.
I reported this to CoCreate support, but they would not acknowledge it as a defect, or even that it should work better than this and needs improvement. All I got was explanations of why it behaves the way it does. So I gave up and decided to post it here to see if others think this should be improved. Maybe if it gets enough votes and feedback they will reconsider.
