Trimming and Extending with the Extend component: Problem

I don't understand why trim and extend don't work with the curves I am using in the definition attached?

Can someone please help, and let me know where I am going wrong?

Alternatively a fix for it would be good - or even a neat alternative for the Extend component would do...

Surely extend should work?? Might the problem be tolerance, which rebuild could fix??

Thanks

Hello Jonathan

The extend component seems to be working ok. The curves you work with are not calculated as equal. they have slight differences in their length. this gets picked up in equal component resulting falses.

Yes you are correct. was testing the component with positive values. It seems that the problem is highlighted with values 0 to -30 aprox. This maybe should be posted to Errors, Bugs and Oversights and David take a look at it.

cheers
