Vectorize Tab: FrameShop Trace Editor
Vectorize Tab | |
---|---|
The Vectorize Tab provides the tools to vectorize an image. Vectorizing will turn a rastor (image) into a vector (cuttable format). After you have vectorized the image, you can then edit the vectors as desired. | |
Select this topic to see information on Taking a Picture that you can either draw over or use the Vectorization feature. This requires FrameShop Visualization. | |
Select this topic to see information on Load a File Image into Trace that you can either draw over, or use the Vectorization feature. | |
Select this topic to see information on Load a Server Image saved on the server from the FrameShop Visualization that you can either draw over, or use the Vectorization feature. This requires FrameShop Visualization. | |
Select this topic to see information on determining the Opacity visibility of the image loaded into the background to make the drawing lines easier to see. | |
Select this topic to see information on the Image Source which displays the image source and image name if applicable. | |
Select this topic to see information on the Turn Policy function which denotes the decision making process used to calculate paths when converting an image. | |

Select this topic to see information on the Tolerance function which is the tolerance of the curve optimization algorithm. | |
Select this topic to see information on the Angle Limit which determines the amount of path smoothing performed. | |
Select this topic to see information on the Threshold which sets the degree of detail captured from the image. | |
Select this topic to see information on the Optimize feature which merges together as many of the circuit segments as possible to reduce complexity and improve cutting. | |
Select this topic to see information on the Set to Defaults function which will reset the Vectorize settings back to the default values. | |
Select this topic to see information on the Clear Partial Image Bounds feature which clears the Bounding Rectangle used to vectorize a partial area of a design. | |
Select this topic to see information on the Vectorize function which will convert the image into arcs, curves, lines and splines with the currently selected settings. |
