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...

1Select the object (or objects) to smooth.

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

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

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

5Click OK.
