When gaps are repaired, circular arcs and curves are preserved as long as they are not part of a complex chain. Arcs and curves within complex chains are stroked before gaps are repaired. Since a new arc may have both its endpoints modified, the new arc is defined using the new endpoints and the mid-point of the original arc. This minimizes the displacement of the new arc with respect to its original position. Shortly, gaps are found and either repaired or flagged. A Results window shows the outcome.
