Smoothing curves

	Use Reshape > Reshape Object in combination with Edit > Smooth Curves to remove unnecessary reshape-nodes from vector graphic objects.

Both vector and embroidery objects contain reshape-nodes on their outlines. On shapes where the angle changes constantly, the software may insert hundreds of reshape-nodes, making reshaping difficult. The Smooth Curves command applies curve ‘smoothing’ to embroidery as well as vector objects.

To smooth curves...

1. Select the object (or objects) to smooth.

Note

You can only smooth objects that have been ungrouped and selected. However, you can select multiple objects.

2. Optionally, click Reshape Object to view reshape-nodes around the outline.

3. Select Edit > Smooth Curves.

4. Adjust the Precision field. This value controls how closely the smoothed outline follows the original. The larger the precision value, the fewer the reshape-nodes.

5. Click OK.
