Simplify path
Thin out a path that carries far more points than its shape needs.
1
A traced outline arrives with points crowded along every curve.
2
The tool keeps the points that hold the shape and drops the rest.
3
The same outline cuts, and the head runs it smoothly instead of in tiny steps.
Every setting
1What each number in the dialog means, and where it starts.
Tolerance
How far a point may move when simplifying (mm)
What it is
Removes points from a path. The outline stays within the distance you set, so a bigger distance means fewer points and a coarser shape.
