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.

title Curve 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
panel Info Here is an exaggerated example to illustrate the process.  panelIconId atlassian-note panelIcon :note: bgColor #B3F5FF 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.
