Sorry, I thought I responded to this last time. Your first program has 1" long segments, and the second program has .5" and ~.4" (pi/8) segments. That they make approximately the same path doesn't matter. If you make a rounded-corner square with 1" segments (arc length on the corners 1", and the flat sides 1") I predict (but didn't verify) that you'll see matching speed. Of course the path cut will be bigger, but this is the valid test if you want to compare line-line apples to line-arc apples. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How ServiceNow helps IT people transform IT departments: 1.
