Tangifying an Object

Info

  • 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. 

  • 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.

titleArc 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 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.

Exaggerated Example

Info

  • 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.

  • The connection between the selected Arcs/Curves will now be made Tangent.
