• Optimize merges together as many of the circuit segments as possible to reduce complexity and improve cutting.

• It may not be obvious on the screen, but it cuts down on the number of Bezier Curve segments, and makes the cutting smoother.

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: Initial Position (called an Anchor), Two Separate Middle Points (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.
