Description

If on, this option causes blending (both standard and advanced) to create the simplest blend possible that gives the same shape as the blend requested. If the option is off, no blends are simplified.

Note: Applications are strongly discouraged from changing this option.

If the option is on, three blend types can be changed, one in standard blending and two in advanced blending.

Standard Blending

If the requested blend is a standard two-ends blend (the only variable radius standard blend), then, if the two end values are equal, a standard constant-radius blend is created.

Advanced Blending

If the requested blend has a round cross section and is a face-face blend and the radius is constant, a standard constant-radius blend is created.

If the requested blend has a round cross section and is a face-face blend and the radius is two-ends, a standard two-ends blend is created.
