Optimize

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.

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.
