Curve Design Details

  • Click on a Curve to see the specific details about it.

Info

Note: If you bring in the design from Designer, Offset the Arc and select the offset, or Convert Arcs to Splines, then clicking on the "Arc" will display Curve/Spline information.

titleOffset Definition

The Offset button creates a displacement copy of the selected object a parallel distance away as specified in the Offset Reveal field in Trace.

Expand
titleArcs Definition

The Arc Tool tool function allows you to draw a three-point mathematically defined curve in the Trace software.

The Arc has three points: the Initial Position and the Terminating Position (which are called "anchors") and one separate Middle point (which is called a "handle") which can be moved to change the shape of the Arc.

titleCurve Tool Definition

The Curve tool will The Curve function allows you to draw a four-point bezier curvemathematically 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 alter the shape.

Info

  • The Curve Design Details section displays information about the selected curve Curve.
