Simplify takes the drawing and reduces its level of complexity so that when the NC is written for it, there are less instructions to download to the cutting machine. It is particularly useful on drawings containing True Type Text and ellipses, and on drawings that have been scanned in.
Click on Profiler
Simplify. The following dialog displays.
Tolerance High/Low: This slider bar determines whether the simplify command uses High tolerance levels for a more accurate representation or you can choose Low to lower the tolerance levels.
Shape Retention Fine/Curvey: This slider bar determines whether the simplify command uses Fine shape retention levels for a more accurate representation of the part, or you can choose Curvey to lower the shape retention levels.
Apply Whole Part / Selected Islands: This determines whether the whole drawing or just a selected region is simplified.
Clicking the Advanced button displays the following dialog.
Inside / Central / Outside Tolerance: These figures specify at what point lines are merged to form a single line. Therefore the degree of simplicity is expressed here.
Restrict Angles: This sets the angle that two consecutive lines must fall between before they will be considered for merging into a single line.
