A Note on the Tangification Highlight Function

Tangification Highlight Function

Tangification Highlight Function

  • The Tangification Highlight function will display the specific angle of degrees between the segments where they connect.

  • This is extremely useful when Tangifying the arc segment connections to provide a smoother cut between the arcs.

  • Note that this is in regards to any series of arcs creating a curve, not where two arcs come together to create an obvious corner/point in the design.
