• Displays the Start X/Y Coordinates of the Curve’s start point when drawn.

  • If you clicked on the upper left and drew by dragging to the lower right, that would make the start point in the upper left corner.

The Curve function allows you to draw a four-point 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 called an Anchor), Two Separate Middle Points (which are called " Handles") , which can be moved to alter the shape, and the Terminating Position (called an Anchor)

The Convert Arc to Splines process will convert any Arcs to Splines/Curves which are easier to tangify to make cuts smoother.
