To convert a raster line to a vector line or polyline
1 For straight lines, click Image menu ➤ Vectorization Tools ➤ Line. Or
for polylines, Click Image ➤ Vectorization Tools ➤ Polyline..
The following prompt appears:
Specify one-pick point or [2P]:
NOTE When you use the one-pick method to select the raster entity,
ProdNameShort corrects the point you picked according to the current
drafting settings or rounding values. For more information, see Using
SmartCorrect (page 205).
2 Do one of the following:
■ Select a raster line by clicking near the beginning of the line. The
endpoint nearest the point you select is considered the start point.
■ Enter 2p, then enter two points to define the raster line you are
vectorizing.
3 NOTE You can cancel the selection of a point by typing undo after you pick
the point.
4 Select another raster line using the one-pick method, or do one of the
following:
■ Enter 2p to select another raster line to vectorize using the multi-pick
selection method.
■ Enter a (Angle) to verify the angle of the vector line segment you just
created. See Options for Verifying an Angle (page 210).
■ Enter l (Length) to verify the length of the vector line segment you
just created. See Options for Verifying a Length (page 210).
■ Enter u (Undo) to remove the last vector line segment you created.
If you used the one-pick method to select the raster line, the following
options are available:
■ Enter st (Start) to verify the start point of the vector line segment you
just created. A rubber-band line appears from the current endpoint.
Click to select a new start point.
