v2.89 07/15/2018

New Chord Error Setting

The chord error is used when either decomposing arcs into segments or converting a series of segments back into arcs.

-chord_error:VU
where V = value i.e. 0.001 and
where U = the units i.e. mm | um | inch | mil

New Circularize Function
Many files can be greatly reduced in size if their arcs are converted from a series of short segments into true arcs. The argument -cicularize followed by an optional chord error turns this on. i.e.

-circularize:0.5um

If the optional value/units is not specified, then the chord value is taken from the -chord argument
