The Tangifyfunction will smooth the connection between the Selected ArcCircuits that are below the specified Angle in the Tangifyfield to provide a smoother cutting transition between the arcs.
The Tangify All Circuitswill smooth the connection between All of the ArcCircuits that are below the specified Angle in the Tangifyfield to provide a smoother cutting transition between the arcs.

Bezier/Spline Curve 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.

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

Info
Because the above example may be difficult to see, I've created an exaggeratedexample of two Arcs with an excessive Bump between them to display the same principle.
Info
Note that you would not normally use such a high number to Tangify the project, because it will Tangify all connections in your design below that angle; i.e., possibly turn rectangles into ovals.
