Curvefit by TCI Software

3.42 - What's this?

Dramatically reduces the number of vertices necessary to faithfully represent "curvy" polylines. Replacement polylines contain the ideal series of curved and straight segments. 10X reduction possible. Requires AutoCAD R14 - R2000, AutoCADMap R2, 3 & 2000

Additional Product Information

You don't have to work with HUGE files or sacrifice smoothness and accuracy !;Curvefit is the only AutoCAD polyline optimizer that produces smooth, accurate,;tangent linework and simultaneously reduces the number of vertices by an order;of magnitude. It uses a state-of-the-art fuzzy logic processor to guide the;conversion, determining the best series of straight and "embedded arc" segments;to represent your polyline data instead of simply removing vertices like;traditional Weeders. Curvefit can reduce a file 10:1 or more without;significantly changing linework shape or accuracy.;Tangent linework is, or should be, the goal when constructing polylines for;many applications like Mapping, GIS and several mechanical applications like;CNC tool paths. The production of tangent linework is synonymous with;smoothness and Curvefit is the only AutoCAD linework processor to deliver a;fully automated tangency search engine.;Use Curvefit to compress your contour files without degradation. GIS;drawings can be simultaneously compressed and smoothed.;Data compression is what you need, not generalization. Historically, linework;reduction processors have focused exclusively on vertex removal. These;processors have been termed weeders or filters and the result is referred to;as a "generalization". In operation, linework generalization is a trade-off;between data reduction and data integrity (more reduction yields less accurate,;more jagged inework).;Curvefit can reduce vertices and improve smoothness. Curvefit is the only;linework compressor that creates an AutoCAD polyline using both straight and;arc vertices. The use of arc segments to replace groups of vertices;simultaneously delivers vertex reduction and smoothing. No other linework;processor offers this capability. Curvefit is unmatched in its ability to;create high quality linework with the absolute minimum vertices.
