Arc Tool: Draw Section: Trace

Drawing an Arc

Drawing an Arc

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

    • Initial Position (Anchor)

    • Middle Point (Handle) which can be moved to change the shape of the Arc

    • Terminating Position (Anchor)

  • When drawing:

    • Left-Click sets the Point under the Cursor

    • Right-Click Snaps to the nearest Point

  • Bringing the design from Designer or using the Convert Arc to Splines process will convert the Arcs to Splines which are easier to Tangify to make cuts smoother.

  • Click the Arc button.

  • Click to place the three points of the Arc:

    • Start Point

    • Middle Point

    • End Point
