The design will now display the specific angle of degrees between the segments where they connect.
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.
