Spline Curve

  • 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.

    • Terminating Position (called an Anchor)

  • Splines are easier to handle in the software than Arcs for tangification which makes the cuts smoother between arcs.

  • The Convert Arc to Splines process will convert the Arcs to Splines for software simplification purposes.

  • Arcs are provided for those that prefer to draw with them.
