a) Select the image to be displayed
Click on Background Image -> Load Image to load the desired image
as background of the drawing area. The part of the image that should
actually be converted to a raster frame can be selected in the next
steps.
b) Define the grid size
It’s very essential to properly define the grid size before continuing with
the raster frame process. This is important as the grid size specifies the
number of points that are drawn during the conversion. The more point
are drawn, the harder it is for the scanners to actually display the figure.
Grid sizes from 8 to 10 usually give good results.
c) Specify the area of the background image that shall be rastered
Drag a selection square around the parts of the background image
that shall be rastered. Use the Hand tool for doing so (with left click and
drag):
d) Select the “Raster Color” tool
e) Specify the raster type
The standard selection is “Helix”, but especially for circular objects
“nothing” can be an option too.
When having followed all the steps above, the raster frame is generated
automatically by creating the corresponding points in the respective color in the
density specified with the Grid size before.
Important:
It is very hard for scanners to project raster frames, as the requirements are really
high. Si it is recommended to project raster frames as small as possible and better
