    titleCurve Definition

    The Curvebutton allows you to draw a mathematically defined Bezier/Spline Curve in the Trace software.

    The Bezier/Spline Curve is defined by four points: the Initial Position and the Terminating Position (which are called "Anchors") and Two Separate Middle Points (which are called "Handles"), which can be moved to change the shape of the Curve.

    Info

    • The individual segments can now be edited.

    • Here, one of the curves Curves has been deleted.

    • Edit the design as desired.
