How to Optimize Curved Lines

How to Optimize Curved Lines

To Optimize Curved Lines

  • Another way to smoothen curves is to optimize them. This refines curved lines and fill outlines by reducing the number of curves used to define these elements.

  • This is the line before optimizing. Select it:

- Choose modify menu, then click on optimize

  • Then this will display the Optimize Curves dialog box:

  • Drag the Smoothing slider to specify the degree of smoothing.

  • Select Use Multiple Passes to repeat the smoothing process until no further optimization can be accomplished; this is the same as repeatedly choosing Optimize with the same elements selected

- Select Display Totals Message to display an Alert box that indicates the extent of the

optimization when smoothing is complete.

  • Click OK

- This is the optimized object:
