| Templates are specialized parametric shape generators created by Wizard. Many of the templates have additional Properties that can be edited which can change the shape, curves and corners of the design as well as a wide assortment of Parameters. The Template Library displays the different templates that are available for use. |

| The Parameters are a set of specified variable characteristics related to the selected object that can be modified through the accompanying fields in Designer. For example, the Chamfer is the symmetrical angled surface at the corner of the Template. In Designer, the Template Parameter Map displays a diagram describing each parameter field for the current Template. |

We will add some Alignment Lines that we will use to Mirror the CutArt. You can Mirror the CutArt without the Alignment Lines, but adding them will help illustrate the process.

| The Line tool in Trace will draw a Two-Point Line. The Line is defined by two points: the Initial Position and the Terminating Position (which are called “anchors”). After it is drawn, a third point in the Center is displayed, which can be moved to alter the Line into an Arc. |

The Arc Tool tool function allows you to draw a three-point mathematically defined curve 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") which can be moved to change the shape of the Arc. |

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 Middle Points (which are called "Handles"), which can be moved to alter the shape. |

Zoom in to the Center of the design.
If you click on one of the Inner Openings, you will see that it is not a complete enclosed object since we Broke the Intersections where the Arcs crossed one another.
