Vectorize

Info
  • The Vectorize button will convert the Rastor Imageinto Vector LinesArcs and Curves with the currently selected settings.

  • If the image is large or extremely complex, it may take a while for the vectorization process to complete.

  • Click the Vectorize button.

  • The Image is Vectorized and automatically traced as a Normal Bevel if the object is enclosed. 

  • You have the option of retracing as a different Bevel/Cartridge Type, or Exploding it and and further Editing it.

The Vectorize Program Steps:

Info
  • The Tracing program has to determine which features of the image are Relevant and which are Artifacts.
    In the first step, the bitmap is broken down into a number of Paths, which form the boundaries between black and white areas.

  • In the second step, each path is approximated by an Optimal Polygon.

  • In the third step, each polygon is transformed into a Smooth Outline.

  • In the fourth step, the resulting curve is optimized by Joining Consecutive Bezier Curve Segments together where possible.

  • Finally, the Output is generated in the required format.
