The Arc Tooltool tool function allows you to draw athree-point mathematically defined curve arc 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"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 Convert Arc to Splines process will convert the Arcs to Splines which are easier to handle in the software than Arcs for tangification and the conversion process when going to the Cut Preview.Arcs are still provided in the software for those that prefer to draw with them, but the Convert Arc to Splines process will convert them to Splines for software simplification purposes.tangify to make cuts 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: 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.

Splines are easier to handle in the software than Arcs for tangification and the conversion process when going to the Cut Preview.

Arcs are still provided in the software for those that prefer to draw with them, but the Convert Arc to Splines process will convert them to Splines for software simplification purposes., and the Terminating Position (called an Anchor)

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