Projects and Pictures

Mike, I have Rams trace. It has the ability to auto trace and then hide the picture and clean up the lines. You can reduce the number points, move the center points of arc's. You can click on any point and just drag it. I do some relief cut signs with oriental characters. I used to use AutoCAD and it would take hours per character. Rams trace auto traces in seconds and I can clean it up in minutes not hours.

You can download a demo at www.rams3d.com but you can't save the files in the demo version. If you want to send me a high rez picture of your pattern, I will try it and tell you how long it took.

" For this we find the Arc > Continue command extremely useful"

If you draw any arc, then press Space-Bar, Return or Right Click (depending on your config), arc is restarted. Pressing Space bar, Return or Right Clicking again starts an arc from the end of the previous one. Select an end point and you'll see this new arc is tangent to the end of the previous one.

It's a bit quicker than selecting "arc continue".

Thanks John,
I'm guessing that Gerald used the full command Draw>Arc>Continue for clarity. The shortcut keys is, of course, the way you would normally work.

I guess we'll have to find something else to get confused about now.
