Curve Design Details | |

The Offset button creates a displacement copy of the selected object a parallel distance away as specified in the Offset Reveal field. Offset Rules:Enclosed Objects:
Arcs and Curves greater than 180 Degrees use the same rules as closed objects. Unenclosed Objects: For unenclosed objects the arrow buttons depend on the direction of travel of the vector segments, starting from the line’s start point. The Left < button offsets Clockwise and Right > button offsets Counter-Clockwise. If it doesn’t Offset in the expected direction, click Undo and click the other Offset Direction. The Arc tool allows you to draw a three-point mathematically defined arc in the Trace software. The /wiki/spaces/FrameShop8x/pages/1942694083 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 /wiki/spaces/FrameShop8x/pages/1942692800 process will convert the Arcs to Splines which are easier to tangify to make cuts smoother. See: Arc Tool in Trace See: Arc Tool Definition/wiki/spaces/FrameShop8x/pages/1942694083 See: Splines 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/Curves which are easier to tangify to make cuts smoother.

Start X and Y
The X Position field is used to set or display the Horizontal position of the selected object in the Design Editor, Trace and the Cut Preview. The Y Position field is used to set or display the Vertical position of the selected object in the Design Editor, Trace and the Cut Preview.

End X and Y
The X Position field is used to set or display the Horizontal position of the selected object in the Design Editor, Trace and the Cut Preview. The Y Position field is used to set or display the Vertical position of the selected object in the Design Editor, Trace and the Cut Preview. |  |
Bevel Type
The Bevel Type refers to the angle at which the blade cuts the surface of the matboard when it deviates from the 90° right angle cut. Tracing the Design provides the Bevel Type and other necessary information to the Vector design in order to either Cut or apply with a Non-Blade Tool on the CMC. The Set Bevels Tab in Trace contains the tools needed to Trace the design. See: Tracing the Design |  |
