titleIf the Arc Displays as Curve/Spline

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

Expand
titleOffset Definition

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

See: Offset Function in Trace

Offset Rules:

Enclosed Objects:

  • The Left < button will offset an enclosed object to the outside.

  • The Right > button will offset an enclosed object to the inside.

Arcs and Curves greater than 180 Degrees use the same rules as closed objects. 

Unenclosed Objects:

For unenclosed objects the arrow buttons depend on the direction of travel of the vector segments, starting from the line’s start point. The Left < button offsets Clockwise and Right > button offsets Counter-Clockwise.

If it doesn’t Offset in the expected direction, click Undo and click the other Offset Direction.

titleArcs Definition

The Arc tool allows you to draw athree-point mathematically defined arc in the Trace software.

The /wiki/spaces/FrameShop8x/pages/1942694083 has three points: Initial Position (called an Anchor), Middle Point (called a Handle) which can be moved to change the shape of the Arc, and Terminating Position (called an Anchor).

The /wiki/spaces/FrameShop8x/pages/1942692800 process will convert the Arcs to Splines which are easier to tangify to make cuts smoother.

titleCurve Tool Definition

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.

titleBevel Type Definition

The Bevel Type refers to the angle at which the blade cuts the surface of the matboard when it deviates from the 90° right angle cut.

Expand
titleTraced Definition

Tracing the Design provides the Bevel Type and other necessary information to the Vector design in order to either Cut or apply with a Non-Blade Tool on the CMC.

The Set Bevels Tab in Trace contains the tools needed to Trace the design.
