The Arc tool function /wiki/spaces/FrameShop8x/pages/1942694083tool allows you to draw a three-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" (Anchor)

• Middle Point(Handle) which can be moved to change the shape of the Arc.

• 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.

• Terminating Position (Anchor)

When drawing:

• Left-Click sets the Point under the Cursor

• Right-Click Snapsto the nearest Point

Bringing the design from Designer or using the /wiki/spaces/FrameShop8x/pages/1942692800 process will convert the Arcs to Splines/Curves which are easier to Tangify to make cuts smoother.
