Marker:Preferences (Main - Miscellaneous )
Dialog Explanation
Max Bulge Error
The Bulge Error is a parameter used to define the smoothness of Curves and Arcs. A smaller value will make the segments more smoothers by adding more invisible points to the cantor which can slow down your computer or can cause unwanted results on the plot-out or while exporting. A value too large can cause lines that are not accurate enough. In version 10.4 the default value changed from 0.02 to 0.01. Click on Restore Page defaults to change this preference to the new default (you only need this action if a SP was installed). Keep the default value ( 0.01) unless you were advised differently by OptiTex support personal.
