Running vectorization

Running vectorization

Vectorization can work on raster selection, or on a group of images. If a raster selection is created, then the vectorization once started will affect this selection alone.
If raster selection has not been made and several images are inserted in the current drawing and they are available (visible, located on unlocked layers), then all of them will be vectorized.
Vectorization also works on images with a clipping boundary. Using this feature, the vectorization area on any image can be limited by setting its clipping boundary.

To perform vectorization

1. Tune vectorization options and parameters, if necessary (the rest of this chapter describes this tuning; recognition parameters tuning is described on page 184).
2. Specify images to be processed.
3. Run vectorization using one of the following methods: Choose Raster2Vector from Convert menu or press the button on the Raster to Vector toolbar. The vector objects will appear over of the original raster.
4. To interrupt vectorization, press ESC or Cancel button.
