Tangify All Circuits

Click Edit > Tangify All Circuits to smooth the connection between circuits that are below a specified Angle.

This provides a smoother cutting transition between Arcs.
Edit the desired angle in the Tangify field.
The default setting is 6 Degrees.

Tangify Tool Definition

The Tangify function will smooth the connection between the Selected Arc Circuits that are below the specified Angle in the Tangify field to provide a smoother cutting transition between the arcs.

The Tangify All Circuits will smooth the connection between All of the Arc Circuits that are below the specified Angle in the Tangify field to provide a smoother cutting transition between the arcs.

Bezier/Spline 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 which are easier to tangify to make cuts smoother.

Arc Tool Definition

The Arc tool allows you to draw a three-point mathematically defined arc in the Trace software.

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.

Because the above example may be difficult to see, I've created an exaggerated example of two Arcs with an excessive Bump between them to display the same principle. Note that you would not normally use such a high number to Tangify the project, because it will Tangify all connections in your design below that angle; i.e., possibly turn rectangles into ovals.
