OPTIMIZE

To Use Optimize, Create or Load the graphic you wish to use in the Image Editor and then Left Click on the Optimize Icon.

The Optimize function allows for the shortest path to be followed between points, this is useful for 2D graphics but when implemented on 3D graphics the Z depth information is removed and hidden line removal has to be replaced by the shortest visible or non visible path, therefore showing all 3D facets and visible points in a 2D and 3D graphic.

Optimize Icon.

Use Optimize for imported 2D Graphics, The use of this function on 3D graphics generated within Laser Electronics software, will remove the 3D hidden line removal function.
