With the optimize tool in the Logo Data Editing software, you can remove redundant
points and optimize the marking order.
For details about the operation of the software, refer to the "Logo Data Editing Operation
Manual".
• If your DXF file contains several lines that create one stroke, use AutoCAD or another

settings, do the following:
‒ Go to "Data management" > "Graphic files".
