  • Arc connections of Zero (0) display that they are perfectly tangent and will cut smoothly.

  • Any connections that are displayed above/below Zero (0) are not tangent.

  • Note that this is in regards to any series of arcs creating a curve, not where two arcs come together to create an obvious corner in the design.

  • NOTE: If the arcs are extremely out of tangent, the Head may pick up the blade and replunge while cutting, making a rough cut.
