  • Select the objects you want to tangify. 

  • Specify the desired Angle in the Tangify field.

    • Any selected Angles below this value will be made Tangent.

titleTangify Tool Definition

The Tangify function will smooth the connection between the Selected Arc Circuits that are below the specified Angle in the Tangify field to provide a smoother cutting transition between the arcs.

The Tangify function will smooth the connection between the Selected Arc Circuits that are below the specified Angle in the Tangify field to provide a smoother cutting transition between the arcs. 

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

titleArc 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.

Expand
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.

Exaggerated Example

Info
Because that the above example may be difficult to see, here

Here is an exaggerated example to illustrate the process. 

  • Select the object you want to tangify.

  • Enter the desired Tangify angle in the Tangify field.

  • Click the Tangify button.

Info
  • The transition between the two curves are tangified to make the cutting smoother between them.
