Clear Partial Image Bounds: Vectorize: Trace

Clear Partial Image Bounds 

Clear Partial Image Bounds 

  • When Vectorizing an image, you can either Vectorize the entire image or just a portion of it. 

  • Clear Partial Image Bounds will clear out the Bounding Rectangle drawn to vectorize a part of the image.

Raster to Vector is the process of taking a Raster image and converting it into a Vector to edit in Designer and Trace.

A Raster is a Bitmap image (JPEG, PNG, GIF, etc.) that is made up of a grid of Pixels, such as a photograph.

A Vector is a drawn graphic path which is defined by a Start and End point, which may contain other Points, Curves, and Angles, drawn in Trace.

The Bounding Rectangle is a dotted or invisible rectangle that encompasses the outermost boundaries of the selected object(s) in Designer and Trace, and includes Control Points which can be used to edit the object.

Vectorizing a Portion of the Image

Vectorizing a Portion of the Image

Load the Desired Image

  • The image is loaded into the Trace editor.

The Design Bounds defines the canvas size of the current design in Trace.

This controls both the Canvas Size for the current drawing and the Image Size for the currently loaded image.

Enter the Design Bounds before beginning your design.
