|---|---|
The Vectorize button will convert the the rastor image into into vector lines, arcs, curves, lines and splines 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. |   |

Load the Desired Image Load the desired image into on the editor, either by Taking a Picture, Loading an Image File, or Loading a Server Image. |   |

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 editing it. |   |
The Vectorize Program Steps: |
|---|
The tracing program has to determine which features of the image are relevant and which are artifacts. 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. |
