Optimize

  • Optimize merges together as many of the circuit segments as possible to reduce complexity and improve cutting.

  • It may not be obvious on the screen, but it cuts down on the number of Bezier Curve segments, and makes the cutting smoother.

  • It is recommended to leave Optimize checked.

 Curve Definition

The Curve button allows you to draw a mathematically defined Bezier/Spline Curve in the Trace software.

The Bezier/Spline Curve is defined by four points: the Initial Position and the Terminating Position (which are called "Anchors") and Two Separate Middle Points (which are called "Handles"), which can be moved to change the shape of the Curve.

  • Click the Optimize checkbox to increase the optimization tolerance on the image, Allowing More Detail to be captured into the design.

  • Uncheck the Optimize checkbox to decrease the optimization tolerance on the image, Decomposing the Detail captured in the design.

    • Depending upon the complexity of the design, it may have difficulties cutting.
