Curve Design Details

  • Click on a Curve to see the specific details about it.

titleIf the Arc Displays as Curve/Spline

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

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

See: Offset Function in Trace

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

The Arc 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 Convert Arc to Splines 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.
