SMLT — Set Miter LimiT
Format
SMLT limit-value;
Parameter
limit-value:
Ratio of the length through a join to the width of line, expressed by the following
formula (Default is 10. Minimum value is 1).
Function
The miter limit value set by the SMLT command is the maximum ratio of the miter
length through a join to the width of the lines connected to each other.
The default miter limit value is 10. In smaller miter-limit values, say 3, the miter join
automatically switches to the beveled join. This switching prevents the problem of a
spike extending beyond the intersection of the path because a small angle is used for the
miter-join.
