Drawing a Curve

  • The Curve function allows you to draw a mathematically defined four-point Curve in Trace.

    • Initial Position (Anchor)

    • Two Middle Points (Handles) which can be moved to change the shape of the Curve

    • Terminating Position (Anchor)

  • When drawing:

    • Left-Click sets the Point under the Cursor

    • Right-Click Snaps to the nearest Point

  • The Convert Arc to Splines process will convert any Arcs to Splines/Curves which are easier to Tangify to make cuts smoother.

  • Click the Curve button.

  • Click to place the four points of the Curve:

    • Start Point

    • Middle Point 1

    • Middle Point 2

    • End Point
