For each curve available in the Project tree of the »Cam Editor« the dialog box contains an individual
tab within which the settings for the corresponding curve can be adapted.

Number of interpolation points for table interpolation
Optimised interpolation If this option is selected, an optimum distribution of points is calculated with the
help of a neuronal network (artificial intelligence). This means that sections that are
only slightly curved (e.g. lines) are represented only by a few interpolation points. In
sharply curved sections, in contrast, many interpolation points are located. As a
result, the curve is of a higher quality.
• Option only activated with »Cam Designer 3« licence upgrade.
Reduced overshoot If this option is selected, the curve objects are replaced with straight lines, if
necessary. As a result, overshooting can be avoided.
• Option only activated with »Cam Designer 3« licence upgrade.
Segmented interpolation If this option is selected, the area for the interpolation is divided into segments with
a definable number of points.
Background layout If this option is selected, the curve remains visible in the chosen colour when you edit
another curve. It is therefore easier for you to keep an eye on dependencies that may
exist between the movements.
